NetApp MetroCluster 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.
