Abstract
The present invention is an apparatus for controlling client node access to data items maintained in a storage device. The data items include volatile data items. The apparatus comprises a communication device for communicating with multiple client nodes; and a processor, coupled to the storage device for polling the client nodes to exchange (e.g., retrieve and/or transmit) data related to the volatile data items, via the communication device. The processing system further controls client node access to the data items of the storage device. In this way, the apparatus and method of the present invention remedies the problems associated with directory server overload.
