Abstract: A geographically distributed highly available mailbox system that includes at least first and second data centers servicing different geographical locations. A payload is received by at least one server of the first data center from a first user to be later accessed by a second user. A server from a second data center replicates the payload from the server of the first data center and the first server of the first data center sends notification to the first user that a payload has been uploaded successfully and sends out notification to the second user that the payload has been uploaded. When the second user sends a request to access the payload, the second user is directed to either the first data center or the second data center based on which data center can provide the second user with the quickest access to the payload.
