Patent ID: 8171111

Claim:
A system for online continuity, comprising: a processor unit; a memory coupled to the processor unit wherein the processor unit and the memory are configured to provide storage of a set of computer-readable instructions executable to implement a system for online continuity including: a first Internet access point via which a first specific network address is advertised for an application, the application containing: a login web page and web pages of the application which contains static data and application data; a second Internet access point via which a second specific network address is advertised for the application; a third Internet access point via which a less-specific network address is advertised for the application; wherein the application is available to a client via at least one of the first and second Internet access points when at least one of the first and second Internet access points meets particular criteria including an active physical layer connection and service via a physical layer access point; wherein login web page of the application and web pages of the application containing the static data is available to the client via the third Internet access point when at least one of the first and second Internet access points fails to meet the particular criteria; wherein the application data alone is synchronously replicated between a first data center associated with the first Internet access point and a second data center associated with the second Interact access point, wherein the first data center and the second data center confirm the data replication; and wherein the application data alone is asynchronously replicated from the first and second data centers to a third data center associated with the third Internet access point, wherein the first and second data centers do not confirm the data replication with the third data center.
