Information redundancy makes it possible to simplify the access arborescences.

A collective information shared and redundant

 

In the RU3 model, redundancy makes it possible a permanent access to shared data that are not stored in a precise network location, nor centralized in a server.

 

In our intelligent network concept, each connected computer becomes itself, but temporarily, a part of the shared collective space. Accordingly, the integrity of shared data is only possible because of the redundancy of part of the information, particularly parity information. This part of the information, necessary to maintain data integrity when some computers become disconnected, is distributed in the model RAID-like system (1). In the RU3 project, the disc spaces are replaced with the parts of random-access memory made available by the connected machines. As in any language, redundancies provide the best warranty to the efficiency of message transmission.
