The method further comprises in response to completion of the first RDMA operation, writing the data into a first persistent storage device coupled to the first processor. The method further comprises transmitting, to the second processor, a command to instruct the second processor to commit the data to a second persistent storage device coupled to the second processor. Moreover, the method further comprises detecting, from the second processor, an acknowledgement for the command, the acknowledgement indicating that the data is synchronized between the first and second processors.
