Title: Decentralised data storage system
Inventor: CHESTERFIELD JULIAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-03-15
Abstract: A decentralised computer storage network is described comprising a plurality of hypervisors or nodes HV1, HV2, HVn. Each storage region in a node is controlled by an associated software controller 11, 12.
