    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to creating virtualized block storage devices whose data is replicated across isolated computing systems to lower risk of data loss even in wide-scale events, such as natural disasters. The virtualized device can include at least two volumes, each of which is implemented in a distinct computing system. Each volume can be implemented by at least two computing devices, a first of which is configured as a primary device to which reads from and writes to the volume are directed. Of the two volumes, one can be indicated as primary, indicating authority to accept reads to and writes from the virtualized device. A primary device of the primary volume, on obtaining a write to the volume, can replicate the write to both a secondary device of a primary volume and to the secondary volume.
