What Is Cross Datacenter Replication (xdcr)? |
|
Answer» Cross Datacenter Replication (XDCR) provides an easy way to replicate DATA from one cluster to another. XDCR involves replicating active data to N+1 Couchbase Server clusters or external APPLICATIONS (e.g. Elastic, Spark, STORM, etc.). The clusters are REGULARLY used for multiple, geographically diverse datacenters either for disaster recovery or to bring data closer to USERS for faster data access. For Couchbase clusters, this replication can be set up to be bi-directional or multi-directional.
