Abstract
Techniques and systems described herein relate to shared storage systems across network devices to use unused storage space and provide backup and additional storage for devices as needed. The techniques and systems include determining availability data describing available storage locations and amounts on network devices, compiling such data at a network controller, and communicating the availability data to the network devices. The network devices then directly communicate with each other to store data remotely as needed.
