Abstract:
A system for providing reliable availability of a general workload and continuous availability of a priority workload over long distances may include a first computing site configured to execute a first instance associated with the priority workload, wherein the first instance is designated as an active instance, a second computing site configured to execute a second instance of the priority workload, wherein the second instance is designated as a standby instance, a third computing site configured to restart a third instance associated with the general workload, and a workload availability module configured to synchronize a portion of data associated with the third instance with a corresponding portion of data associated with the second instance.
