To minimize downtime and data loss from disasters, enterprises create business continuity plans and disaster recovery strategies that often require multi-datacenter Apache Kafka deployments. A disaster recovery plan requires a centralized configuration of cross-datacenter replication to ensure seamless failover and failback in case of a catastrophic event. Confluent Replicator is the key to any multi-datacenter design, managing multiple Kafka deployments and replicating data across clusters. The Confluent Platform 7.7 offers enhanced security features and new connectors, while OpenSearch Ingestion enables integration with Amazon OpenSearch for improved scalability and reliability.
