The intention of this architecture is to provide geo-replication to enhance latency (by moving data closer to the end user) and availability (by providing multiple datacenters to serve requests in the event of a datacenter failure or network partition). -Apache Cassandra offers rack and failure zone aware data replication which is both replicated and sharded for performance and protection. +Apache Cassandra offers rack and failure zone aware data replication which is both replicated and sharded for performance and protection.
