FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: described are a system and method of storing a control program and data in an application hosting centre. For example, one version of the machine-implemented method involves: breaking down the control program and/or data used to execute an online application into a first type and a second type; storing the control program and data of the first type in memory of a first type, wherein said memory of a first type provides access to memory with a relatively short waiting time, storing the control program and data of a second type in memory of a second type, wherein said memory of a second type provides access to memory with a relatively longer waiting time compared to the memory of a first type, retrieving the control program and data from the first memory and the second memory in response to a client request to execute an online application, and streaming an interactive video which represents images generated by the application for the client.
EFFECT: shorter time required by the signal to travel to and from a game server.
