Abstract

A method for increasing service bandwidth in a cluster system having at least three nodes is described. The method includes storing data according to a distributed, redundant process, skipping one remote node when redundant data is stored on a reading node, and reading data from the cluster system using a stripe row reading process by applying an XOR operation to the redundant portion stored on the reading node.
