Availability of coding based replication schemes

The availability of a coding-based replication scheme where simple voting is used to maintain correctness of replicated data is evaluated. It is shown that the storage requirement for maintaining the data with a given availability is reduced significantly. The ways that some of the extensions of the voting scheme can be modified to manage this coding-based replication are also described. The availability of these is evaluated, and the reduction in the storage space requirements achieved is studied.<
