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

Rocket iCluster's high availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR) solutions guarantee seamless operation for your IBM i applications, ensuring consistent access by actively monitoring, detecting, and automatically rectifying replication issues. The iCluster's administration console, which supports both traditional green screen and contemporary web interfaces, provides real-time monitoring of events. By implementing real-time, fault-tolerant, object-level replication, Rocket iCluster minimizes downtime caused by unforeseen IBM i system failures. Should an outage occur, you can quickly activate a “warm” mirror of a clustered IBM i system within minutes. The disaster recovery capabilities of iCluster create a high-availability environment, facilitating simultaneous access to both master and replicated data for business applications. This configuration not only enhances system resilience but also allows for the delegation of essential business operations, such as running reports, executing queries, and managing ETL, EDI, and web tasks, from the secondary system without compromising the primary system's performance. Such flexibility ultimately leads to improved operational efficiency and reliability across your business processes.
