Abstract
A method for implementing continuous data replication in a distributed computer system. The method includes receiving a forwarded data object write I/O from a data server. The method further includes examining attribute information of the data object to determine a consistency group for the data object. A replication policy is examined in view of the consistency group of the data object to determine a destination redundancy server. The data object write I/O is forwarded to the destination redundancy server for storage. An acknowledgment is then sent to the data server upon storage of the data object in the destination redundancy server.
