Abstract
Storing data includes encoding the data using an erasure encoding to provide encoded data, separating the encoded data into a number of components, and providing each of the components to separate data sites. The data may be encoded using a Reed/Solomon encoding. The data may be encoded using a 3-1 Reed/Solomon encoding and the encoded data may be separated into four components that are provided to four separate sites. The data may be encoded by a site that receives the data prior to encoding. The data may be encoded by a client that provides the data to a plurality of sites coupled thereto. Storing data may also include each of the separate data sites providing an additional encoding for the components. The data and the components may be encoded using a Reed/Solomon encoding.
