Introduction to Geographic Edition Software

Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition (Geographic Edition) software is a layered extension of the Oracle Solaris Cluster software. The Geographic Edition software protects applications from unexpected disruptions by using multiple clusters that are separated by long distances and by using a redundant infrastructure that replicates data between these clusters. The clusters can be global clusters, zone clusters, or a combination of both. Data replication software enables applications that are running on a Geographic Edition cluster to tolerate disasters by migrating services to a geographically separated secondary cluster. A disaster such as an earthquake, a fire, or a storm might disable the cluster at the primary site.
