This topic describes the various region shortcuts you can use to configure <%=vars.product_name%> regions.

## <a id="reference_w2h_3cd_lk" class="no-quick-link"></a>LOCAL

### Description

A region configured with the <span class="keyword parmname">LOCAL</span> region shortcut is scoped only to its JVM and is not visible to other peer members. The region does not distribute data and operations to other caches.

### Default Attributes

<span class="keyword parmname">Region Attributes</span>

### Description

A region configured with the <span class="keyword parmname">PARTITION\_REDUNDANT\_OVERFLOW</span> region shortcut has state that is partitioned across each peer member that creates the region. The region keeps an extra copy of the data in memory. The region moves the values of entries to disk when it detects that the JVM is running low on memory.

### Description

A region configured with the <span class="keyword parmname">REPLICATE\_HEAP\_LRU</span> region shortcut has local state that is kept in sync with all other peer regions configured with a REPLICATE data policy. The region destroys entries when it detects that the JVM is running low on memory.

**Note:**
Normally, you cannot have a `local-destroy` eviction policy on replicated regions. However, the REPLICATE\_HEAP\_LRU region is not the same as other replicated regions. This region is preloaded and remains in synch by registering interest in the keys of its peer's replicated regions.
