Method and system for implementing a global node architecture

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a global node system architecture that is specific to a read many and write infrequently application comprising: a plurality of global nodes distributed throughout a global region, each global node comprises: a memory that stores a set of data that is replicated at each node of the plurality of global nodes where each node is a self-contained node so that each node of the plurality of global nodes comprises an exact replica of data; and a processor coupled to the memory and programmed to: synchronize data updates at each of the plurality of global nodes; automatically detect a nearest global node with respect to each of the plurality of global nodes; and initiating a communication with the nearest global node.
