Abstract: Optimized content sharing in an enterprise storage system using a content management system having an orchestration server to coordinate access by and sharing of content over a LAN directly between peer-to-peer end-user enterprise clients. Clients are connected in a peer-to-peer LAN network and organized into content sharing groups that are authorized to share particular content. Upon receiving a request from a client for content, the orchestration server identifies one or more other clients in the same content sharing group that have valid, current copies of the requested content, establishes trusted secure peer-to-peer communications using authentication tokens and URLs of the other clients to the content, and coordinates peer-to-peer transfer of the content over the LAN to the requesting client. For multiple clients with valid content, the orchestration server coordinates transfer to the requesting client using multiple threads.
