Abstract
Described herein, system that facilitates replication of data in a geographically distributed storage environment. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise determining whether a data storage system is in an active data storage mode or a passive data storage mode. In active data storage mode, the data storage system can accept connections from an application, permit the application to store new data objects, replicate the new data objects to other data storage systems, and accept replicated data. In passive data storage mode, the data storage system can block storage of new data objects by the application while accepting replicated data.
