Remote links enable real-time operational analytics to obtain and analyze data from multiple Couchbase data clusters and datacenters in a separate cluster dedicated to the Analytics Service, allowing for the ingestion of data from the Data Service into an Analytics cluster. This feature enables customers to unify data from various operational applications into a centralized analytics cluster, reducing the total cost of ownership, improving resource utilization, and enabling hybrid transactional/analytical processing. With remote links, users can bring more data together in a single place, gather more insights, and perform correlation-style analyses across different datasets drawn from different clusters, saving time and processing power.
