Patent ID: 7962509

Claim:
A method for establishing redundancy amongst a plurality of servers in a network, the method comprising: receiving a user generated query at each of a plurality of servers in a network, wherein each server includes: a database storing one or more data segments accessed during server query processing, and a look-up table for directing server query processing upon receipt of a user generated query communicated to each of the plurality of servers, wherein the look-up table: allocates an allotment of time to each server to process the user generated query, and establishes a single redundancy level for the plurality of servers, wherein the single redundancy level includes a first server of the plurality of servers assigned primary responsibility for processing the user generated query and a second server of the plurality of servers assigned secondary responsibility for processing the user generated query if the first server fails to process the user generated query within the allocated time; processing the user generated query as directed by the look-up table; transmitting results to the user as a reply to the user generated query; and resetting each server of the plurality of servers for processing of a subsequent user generated query upon transmission of the reply to the user.
