Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Specialist

All You Need to Build Your Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Plans for the IT Infrastructure

Continuous availability of all data keeps the business going and allows you to maintain all operations even should a critical situation or disaster happen. This can be achieved by combining High Availability Clusters with Open-E Jovian

DSS On- & Off-Site Data Protection for maximum security. Both the features are built into Open-E Jovian

DSS’ core functionality suite and don’t cost anything extra.

DSS Business Continuity solutions help you to be prepared for every disruption that could occur so that you can operate uninterrupted or with the lowest possible downtime during scheduled events such as maintenance tasks.

DSS Data Self-Healing and Scrubbing Features

One of the fundamental Business Continuity challenges is to sustain your data integrity and availability, while also protecting it against things like silent data corruption that can occur on every physical drive. With ZFS-based data-healing functionality, you can easily prevent silent data corruption without human intervention. The system will detect and fix the damage itself during regular read operations. You can also run the Scrub operation manually, which will scan your data storage for you and fix any corrupted data thus ensuring that less frequently used data isn’t lost.

DSS High Availability Clusters

High Availability architecture provides you with data storage that has the highest possible performance, reliability, availability, redundancy, and efficiency. By ensuring that these standards are as high as possible, downtime periods are minimized and single points of failure are eliminated. High Availability Clusters ensure business continuity by providing uninterrupted access to data during hardware failures, planned maintenance tasks, and system updates.

Open-E Jovian

DSS offers dozens of options in regards to setting up High Availability environments with iSCSI, Fibre Channel (FC) and NFS, SMB (CIFS) client protocols. These options allow you to set up High Availability Load-Balanced Storage Clusters that ensure reliability and redundancy through failover in case of a server crash.

Support for Various Cluster Environments

Ranging from small cluster-in-a-box setups to big rack servers with multiple JBODs.

All Major File- and Block-based Protocols

Open-E Jovian

DSS supports iSCSI, Fibre Channel (FC) and NFS, SMB (CIFS) client protocols.

Hyper-converged Clusters

Possibility to configure clusters with physical servers as well as with virtual appliances, especially in hyper-converged environments.

Distances between 1 foot to 50 miles

Range of possible distances between the nodes from local sites to stretched metro storage clusters.

Easy cluster configuration and management with intuitive GUI. Automation of configuration is possible via REST API's.

Flexible Cluster Over Ethernet

With dual storage mirrored over Ethernet (only with the Advanced Metro HA Cluster Feature Pack).

DSS Failover Options

Should one of the data storage nodes fail, or you just plan to reboot the system, the failover function will redirect the data flow from the unavailable server to the available one.

Active-Passive Failover Data Storage Setup

The Active-Passive setup allows you to have all your active volumes on one server (the primary node) while the other server has all the passive copies and can take over the tasks in case of an emergency (the passive node).

Active-Active Failover Data Storage Setup

A load-balanced Active-Active Failover doesn’t have a primary or secondary node. It adds extra performance by enabling the user to decide which volumes are active on which node. The failover process is the same, but the servers are able to utilize their full network performance and eliminate the unnecessary cost of idle hardware.
