Abstract

Storage and other systems frequently need to distribute objects equally over several sites or devices. While this is simple for a static system, organizing the distribution when additional containers (for example, hard drives, or web content delivery sites) become available is difficult. We present here a very simple scheme based on the factorial number system that allows equal, dynamic distribution of mirrored or replicated objects.
