Hi Sascha - thanks for the reply! 

So if I understand right images will not be stored on the app servers but on 
another server that is running the jackrabbit storage services? After these 
changes are merged only one copy of a product image will need to be saved in 
jackrabbit and now removes the need to sync image files between app servers if 
you are running a load balanced or cluster setup?? 

Thanks
Sam
