Abstract
The invention discloses apparatus and process in which data files are distributed across a large scale data processing system to enable protection from the loss of data due to the failure of one or more fault domains. Specifically, the invention provides significant advances in data base management by distributing data across N fault domains using one or more of a multitude of deterministic functions to protect failure.
