Online systems store information describing a large number of users in order to process requests accessing the user information. The user information is distributed across multiple servers. The distribution is performed so that the information is available even if one or more servers fail. The user information is distributed across a first set of servers and a second copy of the user information is distributed across a second set of servers. The user information from each server of the first set is uniformly distributed across multiple servers from the second set, for example, using random distribution, round robin strategy, or any other strategy that uniformly distributes the information across a given set of processors. Requests previously directed to a failed server are redistributed across multiple servers thereby load balancing the processing of these requests.
