Abstract
A controller receives a request from a user to store content in a target node of a plurality of nodes. A determination is made of a preferred node for the user, from a repository that maintains a correspondence between the user and the preferred node for storing the content for the user, wherein the preferred node is included in the plurality of nodes. Responsive to determining from that the determined preferred node is the target node, the controller transmits the request from the user to store the content, to the preferred node. Responsive to determining that the determined preferred node is not the target node, the controller transmits the request and an identification of the target node to the preferred node.
