In each of these scenarios, it is imperative that the replication be as close to strictly consistent as possible (taking into account bandwidth considerations and the rate of change). Let us start by looking at the different deployment scenarios where this capability would be valuable. While both work, the “enterprise-grade” solution is server-side replication and as such that is what we will focus on in this post. MinIO actually offers two different ways of achieving this - one, with server-side bucket replication and the other with client-side mc mirror. We believe that MinIO is the only company offering this capability. While object storage is superior to these legacy technologies in many ways - it could not, until now, deliver Active Active Replication across two data center locations. This has traditionally been the domain of enterprise SAN and NAS vendors like NetApp SnapMirror and MetroCluster. Multi-data center support brings private and hybrid cloud infrastructure closer to how the public cloud providers architect their services to achieve high levels of resilience. Multiple data centers provide resilient, highly available storage clusters, capable of withstanding the complete failure of one or more of those data centers.
One of the key requirements driving enterprises towards cloud-native object storage platforms is the ability to consume storage in a multi-data center setup.
