Garage will automatically rebalance data between nodes as needed to ensure the desired number of copies.
Read about cluster layout management [here](@/documentation/operations/layout.md).
### Several replication modes
Garage supports a variety of replication modes, with 1 copy, 2 copies or 3 copies of your data,
and with various levels of consistency, in order to adapt to a variety of usage scenarios.
Read our reference page on [supported replication modes](@/documentation/reference-manual/configuration.md#replication_mode)
to select the replication mode best suited to your use case (hint: in most cases, `replication_mode = "3"` is what you want).
### Compression and deduplication
All data stored in Garage is deduplicated, and optionnally compressed using
Zstd. Objects uploaded to Garage are chunked in blocks of constant sizes (see
[`block_size`](@/documentation/reference-manual/configuration.md#block_size)),
and the hashes of individual blocks are used to dispatch them to storage nodes
and to deduplicate them.

This is particularly usefull when nodes are far from one another and talk to one other through standard Internet connections.

A storage bucket can easily be configured to be served directly by Garage as a static web site.
