FAULT TOLERANT AND SCALABLE LOAD DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES

摘要

A resource is located on a server using a distributed resource algorithm that is executing on each server within a cluster of servers. A request for a resource is received at a server in the cluster. The server executes the distributed resource algorithm to determine the server that owns the requested resource. The distributed resource algorithm automatically adapts itself to servers being added or removed within the cluster and is directed at evenly distributing resources across the available servers within the cluster.
