Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for distribution processing of data, and a storage server and the apparatus for distribution processing of data includes: a metadata management unit providing metadata information corresponding to data to a metadata server to verify information of an original storage server and one or more copy storage servers to store the data from the metadata server; and a data management unit creating a message including the information on the storage servers verified by the metadata management unit and the data, and transmitting the message to a storage server having a higher priority according to priorities of the storage servers to store the corresponding data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cloud storage managing a plurality of files, including: a plurality of metadata servers managing a plurality of metadata associated with the plurality of files; a plurality of data servers managing the data of the plurality of files; and a cluster management server managing the plurality of metadata servers and the plurality of data servers.

Abstract: Provided is a data processing method in an asymmetric cluster filesystem. Each data server pre-allocates a free data block and transmits relevant information to a metadata server. The metadata server allocates a free data block and generates metadata by using free data block information, which is received beforehand and managed, upon a user's request of data generation. Then, the data server records the data on the free data block indicated in the metadata. Accordingly, network cost and operation amount of a server decrease and the load can be fairly distributed.

Abstract: Provided are a metadata server cluster and a metadata management method thereof, which distribute metadata for a file to a cluster including a plurality of metadata servers to replicate the metadata. The metadata server includes a directory hierarchy storage unit, a metadata storage unit, and a search unit. The directory hierarchy storage unit stores all directory hierarchies which are stored in the metadata server cluster. The metadata storage unit stores metadata for a data file. The search unit searches the directory hierarchies and the metadata.

Abstract: Disclosed is an XML database duplicating apparatus and method capable of providing an effective application service without interruption at a low cost in the diverse Internet environments by copying an XML document of a database system mounting an XML processing technique to another remote server. When the XML document stored in a database of the original server is copied to databases of copied servers, the structure and attribute information included in the XML document are maintained as they are, and thus the respective copied servers can support the searches based on the contents and the attribute provided by an XML query language and disperse users' queries concentrated to the original server to the respective copied servers, so that the service request for application programs can be processed.
