Abstract
A system for package pre-fetching for a remote program installation includes a service node having a processor, a computing node type database, and a cache, the service node being configured to receive at least one package request for a package required for an installation of an operating system and at least one peripheral application thereof from a computing node, and determine a package request sequence by which the computing node issues the at least one package request according to a type of the computing node. In another embodiment, a method includes receiving a package request from a computing node, and determining a package request sequence by which the computing node issues at least one package request according to a type of the computing node, so as to pre-read a subsequent package into a cache before the computing node issues a request for the subsequent package.
