Cross Data Center Replication

Cross data center replication (XDCR) is an automatic feature of Couchbase that replicates data across data centers, cloud regions, and even cloud providers. XDCR is bidirectional and includes built-in conflict resolution. It’s designed to provide high availability and global distribution of data, enabling the best possible performance for enterprise applications.

Flexible replication across Couchbase clusters

Couchbase XDCR provides simplified data replication technology that enables enterprises to have five-nines data availability, global distribution of data, flexible replication topologies, and a hybrid/multicloud strategy, all while operating at the speed of network.

Cost-effective solution for geo-distribution of data, high
availability, and hybrid deployments

Global

Provide consistent user experiences to your entire global audience with minimal latency.

Continuous

Ensure minimal impact to business continuity during crises such as catastrophic failures at the data center or the regional level.

Flexible

Gain the flexibility to deploy anywhere, anytime on literally any platform or a combination of platforms (on premises, any cloud, containers).

Consistent

Automatically replicate data across a worldwide deployment automatically and securely in both directions without human intervention.

XDCR key capabilities

Cross data center replication (XDCR) replicates data between clusters to provide protection against data center failure, and to provide high-performance data access for globally distributed, mission-critical applications. By replicating data across a distributed environment, you spread the workload to ensure consistency and responsiveness for mission-critical applications.

  • Deployment flexibility

    XDCR allows you to globally distribute data to meet the demands of a worldwide user base.

  • High availability

    Distributed workloads provide fault tolerance to maximize uptime and keep business running.

  • Consistency and security

    XDCR happens behind the scenes to ensure that data is seamlessly and securely replicated across the app ecosystem.

Unmatched resource utilization and flexibility in replication topologies

Complex XDCR topologies offer a high degree of resource utilization with high availability and responsiveness. They also act as hot standby in case of failures, with each cluster capable of taking reads and writes.

Tuning parameters for use cases and cost savings

Conserve bandwidth with the ability to compress, filter data, cap bandwidth consumption, and set replication priorities. For cloud deployments, bandwidth conservation leads to direct cost savings. XDCR filtering options can be used for multiple use cases, including geolocation and geofencing.

Easy setup and multiple use cases

Couchbase XDCR can be set up with just a few clicks in just a couple of minutes.
You can use XDCR to migrate Couchbase data from one platform to another and avoid vendor lock-in. You can also deploy in a hybrid environment to get the best of both worlds.
