AP systems
AP systems are the distributed storage systems tuned for availability. Designed as highly-responsive systems, they can sacrifice consistency, if needed, to accommodate high-velocity data. This means that these are distributed storage systems that are designed to immediately handle requests from users. Typical user requests are to read or write fast-changing data. Typical AP systems are used in real-time monitoring systems such as sensor networks.
