The costs and limits of availability for replicated services
2006
ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
As raw system and network performance continues to improve a t exponential rates, the utility o f m a n y services is increasingly limited by a vailability rather than performance. A k ey approach t o improving availability i n volves replicating the service across multiple, wide-area sites. However, replication introduces well-known tradeo s between service consistency and availability. Thus, this paper explores the bene ts of dynamically trading consistency for availability using a continuous
