GDPS active-active continuous availability

GDPS active-active continuous availability (GDPS/A-A) is the next generation of GDPS and a fundamental paradigm shift for near continuous availability solutions. GDPS/A-A combines the best attributes of the existing suite of GDPS offerings and expands it to allow customers to achieve unlimited distances between their data center sites and achieve the recovery time objectives of 1 minute or less previously only available in a metro area solution.

GDPS/A-A is two or more sites, separated by unlimited distances, and having the same data, with cross-site workload monitoring and balancing. GDPS/A-A is planned to be delivered over time. The first configuration is the Active/Standby configuration.
