AIStor provides server-side, client-side, and site replication with synchronous and asynchronous modes. Configure active-active for distributed writes, active-passive for disaster recovery, or multi-destination for content distribution. One architecture spans hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.
Server-side, client-side, and site replication with flexible sync modes across any topology
Site Replication
Synchronize entire cluster configurations across sites beyond individual buckets. Replicates IAM policies, user accounts, service credentials, bucket configurations, and lifecycle policies with automatic propagation to eliminate drift.
Bucket Replication
Granular, rule-based bucket replication with per-bucket policies, prefix filtering, tag selection, and multi-destination routing. Supports newly written objects and retroactive synchronization of existing datasets with bidirectional metadata updates.
Client-Side Replication
Cross-platform synchronization where destinations run different systems. Client streams data from AIStor through local compute to destination targets, enabling replication between AIStor and third-party providers for migrations and scheduled backups.
Sync & Async Modes
Synchronous replication waits for destination acknowledgment delivering zero recovery point objectives. Asynchronous replication decouples write acknowledgment allowing applications to continue without waiting, with background worker pools providing eventual consistency guarantees.
Flexible Replication Topologies
Server-side replication supports three deployment topologies in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. Active-Passive establishes unidirectional replication to disaster recovery sites. Active-Active enables bidirectional replication for geographically distributed writes. Multi-destination replicates from single sources to multiple targets simultaneously for content distribution and compliance archiving.
Active-Passive
Active-Passive for disaster recovery site protection
Active-Active
Active-Active for geographically distributed write operations
Multi-Destination
Multi-destination for content distribution and compliance archiving
Per-Target Modes
Independent sync/async configuration per destination target

Traditional storage solutions fragment replication across incompatible subsystems. Bucket replication, disaster recovery, and identity federation each have separate APIs, configurations, and administrative domains. Organizations juggle multiple tools with different procedures, increasing operational complexity and creating security boundary risks. When replication fails, troubleshooting spans disconnected systems with no unified visibility. AIStor integrates all replication modes into a cohesive architecture with consistent operational practices.
Unified
Replication architecture
Bucket and site replication share workers, throttling, and monitoring
Versioned
Delete replication
Permanent deletions and delete markers sync for uniform governance
Existing
Object replication
Sync existing data without disruption or extra infrastructure
Integrated
IAM synchronization
Authentication and authorization stay consistent across all sites
Business Impact
Disaster Recovery Positioning
Synchronous replication delivers zero recovery point objectives, reducing data loss by orders of magnitude compared to backup-based recovery.
Geographic Performance Optimization
Multi-region topologies improve response times for distributed users by serving data from nearest clusters and reducing origin bandwidth.
Compliance & Data Sovereignty
Delete replication ensures governance policies apply uniformly across clusters regardless of which site stores data.
Development Velocity
Development and testing environments maintain production-equivalent datasets through replication, eliminating manual data refresh procedures and accelerating development cycles with always-current data.
