AUTOMATED STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF DATA
First Claim
1. A method for retrieving data, comprising:
- requesting a data record;
broadcasting a query for the requested data record to a plurality of data records in a data center, the query comprising a unique listener key identifying the requested data record and information regarding a requesting program;
providing each of the plurality of data records with a listener, wherein each listener actively monitors the broadcasted query to determine if the unique listener key in the broadcasted query matches a unique listener key of the data record associated with the listener; and
in the case of a match, automatically transferring the data record with the matching unique listener key from the data center to the requesting program.
