Abstract

Described is an approach for implementing stretching datastores/clusters in a virtualization environment. In this approach, data replication can be performed across multiple namespace protocols. In addition, control can be made of the granularity of the data replication such that different combinations of data subsets are replicated from one cluster to another.
