Abstract: An electronically stored financial document is either maintained in a first storage system when a parameter associated with the document is greater than a pre-selected parameter or in a second storage system when the parameter associated with the document is less than or equal to the pre-selected parameter. A request for a stored financial document is received and the requested financial document parameter is compared to the pre-selected financial document parameter to determine if the electronically stored financial document's parameter is more than, less than, or equal to the pre-selected parameter. In processing the request, a processing unit compares and electronically accesses one of the storage systems in response to the comparison of the pre-selected parameter to the electronically stored financial document's parameters. After accessing the appropriate storage system, the requested electronically stored financial document can be reproduced, and/or distributed.

The processed product information and processed social network information is conveyed to an information aggregator, which merges the information and stores it in a data store that can be queried by a user.

Abstract: A system and method can support failover during synchronization between autonomous clusters in a distributed data grid. The system allows a cluster member in a source cluster to take over as an owner of a partition in a source cluster, when another cluster member in the source cluster becomes unavailable. Then, a cluster member in the destination cluster can receive one or more replication messages from said cluster member in the source cluster, wherein said one or more replication messages include one or more data changes. Furthermore, the cluster member in the destination cluster may ignore said one or more replication messages, if said one or more replication messages have already been received and successfully processed in the destination cluster.
