Abstract
A data server computer ring including first and second data server computers, and any number of further data server computers. The data server computer “ring” can include any configuration in which the data server computers are connected together by communications links. The first and second data server computers are programmed by a computer program so that when one of the first and second data server computers is not operating, so that it is a non operating data server computer, the other of the first and second data server computers takes over one or more functions normally performed by the non operating data server computer.
