EurekAlert: Computer servers now able to retrieve data much faster

EurekAlert: Computer servers now able to retrieve data much faster. “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. The new approach, called 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.”
