The growing interconnectedness of the world has led to an increased need for global applications, with users accessing them from anywhere in the country or the world. To provide a better user experience, proximity and availability of data are key requirements. Aerospike 5.0 offers two solutions to meet these needs: Multi-site Cluster and Cross-datacenter replication (XDR). XDR has been completely redesigned for better functionality and flexibility in version 5.0, allowing multiple individual clusters connected via XDR to replicate data asynchronously after a write transaction completes at the originating cluster. The new capabilities enhance ease, control, and flexibility in managing data from multiple sources and sent to multiple destinations.
