Abstract
A system and method for providing information dispersal in a networked computing environment are described. A plurality of database servers is distributed throughout a networked computing environment. Each database server includes a database storing segments of information staged for retrieval upon user request. A user system uploads a message specifying an information request. The information request identifies a set of the information staged on the database servers for retrieval. A central controller is communicatively interfaced to the user system and each of the database servers and controls the database servers to disperse the information requested in the uploaded message.
Claims11
A system for providing information dispersal in a networked computing environment, comprising:
- a plurality of database servers distributed throughout a networked computing environment, each database server comprising a database storing information staged for retrieval upon user request;
- a user system uploading a message specifying an information request and a PIN with the information request identifying a set of the information staged on the database servers for retrieval;
- a PIN server communicatively interfaced to the user system, which directly establishes the PIN on the PIN server;
- and
- a central controller communicatively interfaced to the user system and each of the database servers and communicatively interfaced to the PIN server, the central controller periodically updating and administering validation information stored on the database of each database server comprising issuance of each PIN by the PIN server, validating the PIN for the user system against the validation information stored on the database of the particular database, and controlling the database servers to disperse the information requested in the uploaded message.
A method for providing information dispersal in a networked computing environment, comprising:
- distributing a plurality of database servers throughout a networked computing environment, each database server comprising a database storing information staged for retrieval upon user request;
- communicatively interfacing a central controller to a user system and each of the database servers;
- communicatively interfacing a PIN server to the user system and the central controller;
- directly establishing a PIN on the PIN server via the user system;
- periodically updating and administering validation information stored on the database of each database server comprising issuance of each such PIN by the PIN server;
- uploading a message specifying an information request and one such PIN from the user system with the information request identifying a set of the information staged on the database servers for retrieval;
- validating the one such PIN for the user system against the validation information stored on the database of the particular database servers;
- and
- controlling the database servers via the central controller to disperse the information requested in the uploaded message.
