In today's information-centric global marketplace, business critical data must be available all the time. Rain or shine, earthquake in California or tornado in Kansas, the data center needs to be on-line twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In response to these needs, we are building a self-managing, self-healing distributed storage system. The key design goals of the system are to provide guaranteed quality of service, incremental growth, extreme fault tolerance, and automatic disaster recovery. In this talk I will present some of the key architectural features of the system and focus particularly on our solution to disaster recovery.
