To offer scalable, cost-effective disaster recovery (DR) options for your business, provides the following technologies in tandem with cloud services:
  • Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS) and () for Linux environments
Using FSS, a technology that enables seamless cluster-wide sharing of local storage over the network, you can form clusters across zones within a region. Using , you can replicate data across zones and regions for both standalone and clustered systems.
  • for Windows environments
You can replicate data across zones and across regions.
Note: In these topics about replication,zoneis used as a common term to refer to an Availability Zone (AZ) in AWS, a VNet or a user-defined site in Azure, or a zone in Google cloud.
With the help of these technologies, you can:
  • Leverage the cloud as a DR site.
  • Replicate application data from your on-premises data center to the cloud or within the cloud.
  • Avoid the infrastructural costs that are needed to maintain a second physical site.
Data is always available, even if a failure occurs in a node, or a storage device, or a zone.
