Description

DRBD® (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is an open source, software-centric solution for block storage replication on Linux, engineered to provide high-performance and high-availability (HA) data services by synchronously or asynchronously mirroring local block devices between nodes in real-time. As a virtual block-device driver deeply integrated into the Linux kernel, DRBD guarantees optimal local read performance while facilitating efficient write-through replication to peer devices. The user-space tools, including drbdadm, drbdsetup, and drbdmeta, support declarative configuration, metadata management, and overall administration across different installations. Initially designed to support two-node HA clusters, DRBD 9.x has evolved to accommodate multi-node replication and seamlessly integrate into software-defined storage (SDS) systems like LINSTOR, which enhances its applicability in cloud-native frameworks. This evolution reflects the growing demand for robust data management solutions in increasingly complex environments.

Description

In the event of an emergency or disaster, quickly switch to your on-premise or cloud backup server, allowing your business operations to resume in just a matter of minutes. Utilize your secondary system to handle nightly backups, execute queries, and carry out planned maintenance tasks without disrupting your primary production setup. You have the flexibility to replicate either your entire production environment or just specific libraries and programs, ensuring that your data is accessible on the target server almost immediately. With the use of remote journaling combined with a high-speed apply routine, Robot HA is capable of replicating an astounding 188 million journal transactions per hour, regardless of the distance—whether physical or virtual—and applies the data instantaneously upon receipt, ensuring that your hot backup remains a real-time reflection of your production environment. This system provides you with the reassurance that you can initiate a role swap whenever necessary. You have the option to manually trigger an audit for the role swap whenever you deem it necessary or schedule it to occur at regular intervals. Additionally, the audit can be customized to focus on the objects that are most critical to your data center, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of your backup strategy and ensuring your business's resilience.
