Rethinking Database High Availability with RDMA Networks
Summary: RDMA-enabled networks shift bottlenecks from network to CPUs. Active-Memory Replication uses RDMA to eliminate processing redundancy across replicas, with an RDMA-based undo-logging protocol to preserve correctness, beating active-passive and active-active by up to 2×.
