MetroCluster

MetroCluster is used to form a high-availability storage/service, and in the event of a disaster situation, quickly provides a hot standby copy of the data for further work with it.

MetroCluster is a software solution that helps you achieve continuous storage availability and virtually eliminate the risk of information loss. MetroCluster is based on synchronous clustering, mirroring, and replication technologies.

MetroCluster can be referred to as an autonomous and self-sufficient clustering solution, because this software allows you to perform the most seamless emergency switching, which is considered a guarantee of trouble-free operation of priority applications.

Moreover, using MetroCluster, you can get rid of the need to systematically perform routine operations related to making adjustments. This minimizes the risk of human error.

Due to the absence of the need for additional staff, MetroCluster allows you to save a lot of money on system administration.

Capabilities of MetroCluster

The solution has a powerful functionality, among which we can emphasize the following important features:

• Minimize downtime due to automatic updates, without the need to suspend work.
• Reduction of emergency downtime, due to the ability to quickly switch to auxiliary, spare equipment.
• Higher availability in virtualization environments through the use of VMware® FT and HA technologies.

Among the benefits of the solution:

• Switchability with just one command;
• maximal change management;
• protection of equipment from all kinds of failures;
• continuous software updates;
• quick deployment, without complex applications and scripts;
• simple and fast error-free disaster recovery;
• minimize the impact of the human factor;

In addition to all of the above, MetroCluster software is characterized by economic benefits for the enterprise, can guarantee continuous availability of information in critical environments at any level – from a small data center (data center) to an entire metropolitan area.
