Abstract
Redundant data storage systems and methods of operating a redundant data storage system are presented. In one aspect of the invention, a redundant data storage system includes: a plurality of storage devices configured to redundantly store digital data; a plurality of transaction originating devices configured to originate a plurality of transactions to control operations of the storage devices; a plurality of parallel data buses configured to communicate data relative to the respective transaction originating devices; and a plurality of transaction processing devices coupled with the parallel data buses and configured to process the transactions in an order according to a transaction ordering protocol common to at least some of the transaction processing devices.
