A method includes receiving a request from a source system to store data, directing the data to a computer memory, the computer memory employing an encryption scheme, and continuously forwarding the data from one computer memory to another computer memory in the network of interconnected computer system nodes without storing on any physical storage device in the network, each computer memory employing the encryption scheme. The continuously forwarding includes determining an address of a node available to receive the data based on one or more factors, sending a message to the source system with the address of a specific node for the requester to forward the data, detecting a presence of the data in memory of the specific node, and forwarding the data to another computer memory of a node in the network of interconnected computer system nodes without storing any physical storage device.
