Patent ID: RE40521

Claim:
A data access and management system for a computer system, comprising: at least two data storage means; at least one computer unit which accesses the data of the data storage means; data transmission means for a data transmission between the data storage means and the computer unit, with the data being stored in a redundant manner in at least two of the at least two data storage means; and means for detecting prespecified parameters of the data transmission between the data storage means and the computer unit, with data being preferably stored in a redundant manner in the data storage means as a function of said detected prespecified parameters, and with the computer unit accessing one of the data storage means as a function of said detected prespecified parameters, the data storage means comprising a second means for detecting prespecified parameters for data transmissions between said data storage means; and wherein the data storage means copies data which is redundantly stored in the system independent of an access of the computer unit as a function of the detected prespecified parameters of data transmission between the data storage means.
