Replicating data across multiple data centers allows using data closer to the client, reducing
latency for applications, and increases the availability in the event of a data center failure …

Conventional fault-tolerant distributed transactions layer a traditional concurrency control
protocol on top of the Paxos consensus protocol. This approach provides scalability …

Web service providers have been using NoSQL datastores to provide scalability and
availability for globally distributed data at the cost of sacrificing transactional guarantees …

Distributed storage systems aim to provide strong consistency and isolation guarantees on
an architecture that is partitioned across multiple shards for scalability and replicated for fault …

Transactions can simplify distributed applications by hiding data distribution, concurrency,
and failures from the application developer. Ideally the developer would see the abstraction …

Spinnaker is an experimental datastore that is designed to run on a large cluster of
commodity servers in a single datacenter. It features key-based range partitioning, 3-way …

Today's datacenter applications are underpinned by datastores that are responsible for
providing availability, consistency, and performance. For high availability in the presence of …

This paper presents Granola, a transaction coordination infrastructure for building reliable
distributed storage applications. Granola provides a strong consistency model, while …

Transactions with strong consistency and high availability simplify building and reasoning
about distributed systems. However, previous implementations performed poorly. This …

Modern cloud systems are geo-replicated to improve application latency and availability.
Transactional consistency is essential for application developers; however, the …
