Multi-master update everywhere database replication, as achieved by protocols based on group communication such as DBSM and Postgres-R, addresses both performance and availability...
We consider the use of a database cluster for Application Service Provider (ASP). In the ASP context, applications and databases can be update-intensive and must remain autonomous....
A new RAID-x (redundant array of inexpensive disks at level x) architecture is presented for distributed I/O processing on a serverless cluster of computers. The RAID-x architectu...
