Certain Aspects of Distributed Data Storage

Abstract

The expected rapid growth of Hungary’s National Databases and the protection of similar databases result in complex challenges for systems operators. Their vulnerability poses a growing risk due to their increasing value plus the possible damage that can be caused by their failure. The goal of this article is to show how distributed data storage can increase the protection of such data and also to demonstrate how higher levels of redundancy can be assets to critical data infrastructure – with maintaining the possibility of dynamic scaling and priority flexibility.
