Description

NetApp MetroCluster setups consist of two geographically distinct, mirrored ONTAP clusters that function together to ensure ongoing data availability and SVM safeguarding. Each cluster continuously replicates its data aggregates to its counterpart, ensuring that both locations maintain identical copies of the data. In case one of the sites experiences a failure, administrators can quickly activate the mirrored SVM on the operational cluster, allowing for uninterrupted data service. The MetroCluster system accommodates both fabric-attached (FC) and IP-based cluster configurations: the fabric-attached MetroCluster utilizes FC transport for SyncMirror synchronization between sites, while MetroCluster IP operates over layer-2 stretched IP networks. Deployments of Stretch MetroCluster facilitate coverage across an entire campus, and with ONTAP versions 9.12.1 and 9.15.1, MetroCluster IP configurations can support up to four nodes using NVMe/FC or NVMe/TCP. Furthermore, it is important to note that front-end SAN protocols such as FC, FCoE, and iSCSI are fully supported within this architecture, enhancing the overall versatility of MetroCluster solutions. This flexible design accommodates various enterprise needs, making it an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their data management strategies.

Description

SIOS DataKeeper is a block-level replication solution tailored for host-based environments, providing real-time redundancy either synchronously or asynchronously for Windows Server setups, and it integrates effortlessly with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC). This innovative solution facilitates the creation of "SANless" clusters, removing the need for shared-storage systems by enabling data replication across various local, virtual, or cloud servers such as VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, all while ensuring optimized performance without the necessity for specialized hardware accelerators or compression tools. After installation, it introduces a new SIOS DataKeeper Volume resource within WSFC, allowing for the support of geographically distributed clusters through cross-subnet failover and customizable heartbeat settings. Additionally, it features built-in WAN optimization and effective compression to enhance bandwidth utilization over both local and wide-area networks, thereby improving overall network efficiency. This combination of features makes SIOS DataKeeper an excellent choice for organizations looking to enhance their data availability without the complexities of traditional storage solutions.
