High-Availability & Disaster Recovery with Composite Active/Passive Topology

In a Composite Active/Passive (CAP) topology, all writes are routed by the Connectors to the Primary node in the sole Active cluster, while the Passive cluster remains synchronized and ready to take over during failover.Tungsten CAP ensures business continuity by providing a reliable disaster recovery solution that minimizes downtime during regional outages.

A CAP Topology Contains

Minimum Configuration

2 clusters with 3-node (or 2-node + witness) per cluster.

Active/Passive Design

One cluster is active for writes, while the other serves as a disaster recovery (DR) cluster.

Cross-Site Replication

Managed replication flows from the active cluster to the passive cluster.

Read Operations on DR Cluster

The passive cluster supports read-only queries.

Multi-Site Aware Connectors

Automatically redirect traffic to the DR cluster during failover.
