An Active-Active Site configuration runs two or more sites simultaneously, each handling live production traffic and sharing the workload while backing one another up. Because both are already serving load, failure of one site allows the others to absorb its traffic with little or no downtime, but the design requires data synchronization and load balancing across locations.
