The StorageGRID Webscale system can be deployed to a single data center site or to multiple data center sites.
Single data center site
In a single data center (DC) site deployment, the infrastructure and operations of the StorageGRID Webscale system are centralized in a single site.
Multiple data center sites
In a multiple data center site deployment, the infrastructure of the StorageGRID Webscale system can be asymmetrical across data center sites and proportional to the needs of each data center site. Typically, data center sites are located in geographically different locations. Data sharing and disaster recovery are achieved in a peer-to-peer manner by automatically distributing data to other sites. Each data center site acts as a disaster recovery site for another site.
