  6. 5. Cross region cloud redundancy : A comparison of a single-region and a multi-region approach

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Oskar Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : Cloud computing; Cross-region replication; Performance evaluation;

    Abstract : In order to increase the resiliency and redundancy of a distributed system, it is common to keep standby systems and backups of data in different locations than the primary site, separated by a meaningful distance in order to tolerate local outages. Nasdaq has accomplished this by maintaining primary-standby pairs or primary-standby-disaster triplets with at least one system residing in a different site. READ MORE
