METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENTLY PROPAGATING OBJECTS ACROSS A FEDERATED DATACENTER

Abstract:

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for providing resiliency for globally distributed applications that span a federation that includes multiple geographically dispersed sites. At a first site, the method receives, from a second site, a login request for accessing a federated datastore maintained at the first site. The first site determines that the second site should be authorized and provides an authorization token to the second site, the authorization token identifying the second site as an authorized site. Based on the authorization token, the first site replicates a set of data from the federated datastore to the second site.
