RELDATA mirroring and replication technologies offer local and remote replication capabilities designed to address data availability and disaster recovery scenarios. The RELDATA 9240i can be deployed as a distributed solution that provides campus-wide high availability (HA) of storage for mid-size businesses. Combined with its price advantage over proprietary Fibre Channel SAN or NAS products, the RELDATA 9240i presents an attractive option to meet the growing needs of today’s IT organizations.

Synchronous Mirroring & High Availability

All organizations share a basic need to ensure that they can recover from an unplanned disruption. Some, like hospitals and financial firms, are obligated to maintain a real-time customer facing presence. Others can afford some period of downtime, and their Recovery Time Objective (RTO) may extend to several hours.

The RELDATA solution is unique because it offers an architecture that can scale to meet these disparate challenges. This means that you can confidently start with a conservative RPO (Recovery Point Objective) knowing you will be able to meet more aggressive demands - for example, an e-commerce site - as your needs evolve.

Our synchronous mirroring for High Availability (HA) between storage pools delivers block perfect real-time synchronization and quick failover. This feature ensures maximum continuity of operations with an effective RPO of zero and an RTO of “now”. Block-level mirroring over IP is efficient, affordable, and fast.

 

The diagram shows the HA solution across high-speed network or a dark fiber suitable for any real-time operation where failover must be instantaneous. This deployment is tailor made for virtual machines running in the VMware, Hyper-V, or XenServer hypervisors with neither data loss nor application timeout. In this case, failures are tolerated at both the host and storage layers for maximum uptime.

In addition to synchronous mirroring, storage volumes can be also replicated incrementally across long distance. Because mirroring and replication services are an integral part of the RELDATA 9240i, organizations can implement data protection as part of the storage provisioning process for all business- and mission-critical applications.
