Abstract
A ring replication system receives and redundantly stores electronic data for access by users. Two or more storage devices are configured in a ring and circulate received data to each other. At least one such device receives incoming data records from an external source. One storage device is designated as the ordering device for assigning a sequence order to each data record, and the assigned sequence order is circulated around the ring. After confirming that the assigned sequence order has been indexed within each storage device on the ring, data records may then be accessed by users. One or more access portals may be coupled to one or more storage devices in the replication ring for providing users with access to stored data records. Data records are accessed in accordance with the assigned sequence order. A related method for redundant storage of data records is also disclosed.
