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
StorMagic SvSAN is simple storage virtualization that eliminates downtime. It provides high availability with two nodes per cluster, and is used by thousands of organizations to keep mission-critical applications and data online and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
SvSAN is a lightweight solution that has been designed specifically for small-to-medium-sized businesses and edge computing environments such as retail stores, manufacturing plants and even oil rigs at sea.
SvSAN is a simple, 'set and forget' solution that ensures high availability as a virtual SAN (VSAN) with a witness VM that can be local, in the cloud, or as-a-service, supporting up to 1,000 2-node SvSAN clusters. IT professionals can deploy and manage 1,000 sites as easily as 1, with Edge Control centralized management.
It delivers uptime with synchronous mirroring and no single point of failure, even with poor, unreliable networks, and it allows non-disruptive hardware and software upgrades.
Plus, SvSAN gives organizations choice and control by allowing configurations of any x86 server models and storage types, even mixed within a cluster, while vSphere or Hyper-V hypervisors can be used.
