Questions about Dynamic Data Access Management
1. How does this technology improve data access efficiency in data centers? 2. What are the potential applications of this method in cloud computing environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
Examples are provided for a method of providing access to data of a data center. In one aspect, the method comprises storing a unit of data to each of a plurality of data nodes of a data center, designating a first node of the data center as a primary access node for the unit of data, the primary access node being configured to service access requests to the unit of data using one or more of the plurality of data nodes, determining that the first node is not available, and performing a failover process by reconfiguring a second node of the data center as the primary access node for the unit of data.
