The Active Everywhere Imperative
Companies today aim to increase productivity and improve user experiences by accelerating their computer networks and ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability of their apps and data centers. Hybrid cloud environments pose challenges in achieving these goals due to geographical distances and regulatory requirements such as GDPR. Distributed, scale-out databases have emerged as a solution, allowing an Active Everywhere approach where data is replicated across all data centers during read or write operations. This approach provides resilience and additional benefits like high availability, fault tolerance, and easy scaling.
