Cloud attached GDS2

The new GDS2 architecture allows a distributed setup and an master/master replication between several locations.


Small companies might consider a cloud attached setup to get a certain level of redundancy of their data. Another reason might be to get better access performance and a higher security level via a centralized data center. The centralized instance might work as distribution hub for several distributed site. Deutsche Wolke offers this kind of services in the bunker data center of COMback.

UPDATE: After some brainstorming in Stuttgart last week, we are planning to shrink the footprint of the GDS2 core to fit into an ARM based appliance. The result will be a Data Space in a Box. The replication feature helps us to attach this box to the cloud or to other branch offices. Please contact me if you are interested in bundling the GDS2 with your hardware.
