Abstract
The disclosure relates to data protection management for geographically distributed storage systems. Specifically, the present disclosure provides a mechanism for load balancing by combining the techniques of XOR Star and XOR Chain to control the protection of data internally. The load balancing is done by each zone without the need for an external load balancer. In addition, the load balancing mechanism provides the ability for native (e.g. without additional configuration) support of disaster recovery.
