Abstract:
1. A replication control circuit to receive a request for a write or delete data operation sent to a memcached server from an application server, wherein requests for data operations from the application server that are received at the memcached server are filtered to identify write data operations, and send the write or delete data operation to a memcached replication server assigned to the memcached server to perform the write operation on the memcached replication server to back up data for the memcached server, wherein the replication control circuit is to detect failure of the memcached server and send a distress signal to the memcached replication server indicating the failure and the distress signal includes an ID for the memcached server, wherein the memcached replication server, in response to the distress signal, restores data for the memcached server to an idle memcached server, wherein the restoring includes restoring backup data from dynamic random access memory of the memcached replication server to the idle memcached server, and restoring backup data in non-volatile memory of the memcached replication server to the idle memcached server after the idle memcached server is made live.
