Abstract

In this paper we present a novel synchronization technology, which is designed for distributed computer systems that use replication as means of redundancy. Our mechanism was primarily created for Intelligent ExaByte Storage, which is a network storage system with multiuser access. The protocol is based on the concept of digital identity certificates and supports real-time update of replicas and annulment of operations that might have produced out-of-date results. It also guarantees that the number of replicas stays the same at all times during the system's performance.
