Active-Active Capabilities in Aerospike Database 5

The new digital environment demands applications that are always-on and perform in near real-time. To tackle the challenges of maintaining a global view of business transactions in this distributed realm, Aerospike supports two distinct active-active deployment models - multi-site clustering and cross datacenter replication (XDR). Multi-site clustering uses synchronous replication to deliver a global distributed transaction capability by spanning a single Aerospike cluster across multiple geographically distributed sites. XDR uses asynchronous replication to connect two or more Aerospike clusters located at multiple geographically distributed sites. Both models enable Aerospike to be used in a wide variety of transactional use cases, providing strong consistency, geographic data distribution, elasticity and performance.
