Zadara With HA Via Metro Area Automatic Failover

Zadara Storage Ltd, announced expanded high-availability and data protection options for its Virtual Private Storage Array (VPSA) service, including a Multi-Zone HA capability.

The options give users the ability to protect against facility-level failure, as well as less extreme scenarios, such as application corruption. With these features, customers are able to extend their data redundancy across metropolitan locations.

Zadara is introducing its Multi-Zone HA, a option for automatic, real-time failover across geographically distributed locations. Customers enjoy both file (NAS) and block (SAN) storage that automatically and synchronously replicates data across a metropolitan area network and fails over automatically and transparently in the event of facility-level failure.

Both On-Premise as a Service(OPaaS) and Cloud VPSA customers have the option to geographically distribute their data for a high-availability storage solution with zero RPO and zero RTO.

For example, at AWS, Multi-Zone HA enables users to have a disaster tolerant system by distributing application servers across different availability zones and the storage across different buildings within the same region. Customers can asynchronously replicate to any of Zadara’s 36 public storage clouds around the world including AWS (5 regions), Microsoft Azure (3 regions), Dimension Data (3 regions) and any other service provider that is powered by Zadara.

The company is adding support for Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), which enables users to create online, point-in-time backups of SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint and other Microsoft enterprise applications. These features ensure that mission critical applications continue to operate in the face of severe failures.

“A core value of Zadara’s Enterprise Storage as a Service is business continuity” said Craig Carl, VP product management, Zadara. “With the new Multi-Zone HA and Volume Shadow Copy Service capabilities we continue to innovate to ensure that our customers’ business critical workloads have the benefit of Zadara’s 100% data availability SLA both on-premises and in the cloud.”

“Zadara Storage pioneered enterprise-class storage as a service offering IT organizations granular control and quality of service (QoS)unheard of with large cloud service providers,” said Frank Berry, CEO, IT Brand Pulse. “Zadara is now redefining the leading edge with a multi-zone architecture for geographically dispersed, high availability enterprise-class storage as a service that was previously only available to those larger companies who could afford to own and operate multiple data centers.”
