Computer-implemented methods and systems for automatic ring discovery and configuration are provided. An exemplary method may comprise connecting a data node to a network. When connected, the data node periodically sends an advertisement to the network and monitors the network for one or more further advertisements of further data nodes associated with one or more data rings. The monitoring is performed for a predetermined time period. If one or more further advertisements are received, the data node determines which data ring to join using predefined criteria. The predetermined criteria may include a number of data nodes in the data ring, free space in the data ring, allowable number of the data nodes, compatibility of software versions of the data node and the data ring. Alternatively, if no advertisements are received within the predetermined time period, the data node creates a new data ring.
A method for auto-joining a data node to a data ring, the method comprising:
