Accelerating responses to requests made by users to an internet
First Claim
1. An acceleration method for accelerating a response to a user request received from a user coupled by an Internet to a server, the server being coupled to a data storage facility for returning the response fetched therefrom to the user, the acceleration method comprising the steps of:
- coupling an object response accelerator (ORA) to the Internet,coupling at least one direct access communication link from the ORA to the data storage facility, andbypassing the server through the at least one direct access communication link for accelerated access to the data storage facility and for accelerated return of the response to the user,wherein the ORA relieves processing load from the server.

Abstract
Method and system are disclosed for accelerating a response to a request made by a user of an Internet (1) coupled to a server (2), which is coupled to a shared storage (5). Preferably, an object response accelerator (4), or ORA, is inserted between the Internet and the server, and the ORA is coupled by at least one direct access communication link (DACL) to the shared storage.
A request from a user to the server is forwarded to the ORA for detection of a condition, on the request. The request is processed locally by the ORA in presence of the condition, but returned to the server in absence thereof. Local processing calls for the ORA to access the shared storage via the DACL and to retrieve the response therefrom. A response to the user is returned via the ORA, both when processed locally or by the server.

26. A system for accelerating a response to a user request received from a user coupled by an Internet to a server, the server being coupled to a data storage facility for returning the response fetched therefrom to the user, the system comprising:
-
an object response accelerator (ORA) coupled to the Internet, at least one direct access communication link coupling the ORA to the data storage facility, the at least one direct access communication link bypassing the server for accelerated access to the data storage facility and for accelerated return of the response to the user, wherein the ORA relieves processing load from the server. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
