Patent attributes
Methods and apparatus for disassembly/reassembly in data forwarding storage. A method includes receiving a request from a source system to store data, disassembling the data, directing the disassembled data to a computer memory and continuously forwarding the disassembled data from one computer memory to another computer memory in the network of interconnected computer system nodes without storing on any physical storage device in the network. The continuously forwarding includes determining an address of a node available to receive the disassembled data based on one or more factors, sending a message to the source system with the address of a specific node for the requester to forward the disassembled data, detecting a presence of the disassembled data in memory of the specific node, and forwarding the disassembled data to another computer memory of a node in the network of interconnected computer system nodes without storing any physical storage device.
