Servers and databases are decoupled: servers provide computation and storage power for databases to use.
Each database relies on its own cluster architecture, organized into primaries (with a minimum of three for high availability) and secondaries (for read scaling).
. *Fault tolerance:* Primary database allocations provide a fault tolerant platform for transaction processing.
A database remains available for reads and writes as long as a simple majority of its primary copies are functioning.

Hmm depends actually, are we using copy/allocation interchangeably elsewhere? In which ignore this suggestion.

It might be good to use database allocation everywhere though.

In fact, we're using copies/allocations interchangeably. In the Disaster recovery, however, we decided to use allocations only.

I personally like the term allocation, but I will leave it at your discretion :)
