Protocol Improves Storage Efficiency and Output Speed of Computer Systems

Current data storage systems use only one storage server to process information, making them slow to retrieve information to display for the user. A backup server only becomes active if the main storage server fails. A new approach — fast, linearizable, network-accelerated client reads, or FLAIR — optimizes data storage systems by using all the servers within a given network. Therefore, when a user makes a data request, if the main server is full, another server automatically activates to fill it.
