The system building process of network computing environments was speeded up by apportioning the aggregation spending that server manages all related COW disks of client hosts to each client host. A improving 64bit bitmap compress arithmetic was designed to reduce the size of COW disk’s bitmap, so server disk space was saved and the network communication spending of distributed COW disk was l
