Technology Review: HA Service from Infrotrend

Thanks to simultaneous data replication, users achieve zero recovery point objective (RPO) – data loss is completely avoided – and virtually zero recovery time objective (RTO), as service takeover in the event of a failure is automatic and lightning fast. This plays a crucial role in the event of unplanned outages (power, hardware, network failures) and planned maintenance.

In block storage mode, the HA solution can even be operated in active-active mode, which not only ensures reliability but also load balancing between devices. In file mode, the system runs in active-passive mode; in the event of a failure, the passive system automatically takes over.

• Zero RPO/fast-near RTO reduces revenue loss and increases customer satisfaction
• Suitable for data center workloads: SAP/ERP, e-commerce, mail, and web services
• Particularly relevant in highly regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, government, and telecommunications 

Personal experience confirms the benefits: In hospital radiology systems, the HA service ensures that patient data remains available even if an array fails, allowing doctors to access it during treatment.

The HA service is supported in the following storage series.

• GS-Family: 3000 Gen2, 4000 Gen2, 3000B Gen2, 4000B Gen2, 3000 G3, 4000 G3, 3000U, 3000U, 4000U, 5000U
• GSe-Family: 3000 Gen2, 4000 Gen2, 3000 G3, 4000 G3, 3000U, 3000UT, 4000U

The Infortrend HA service offers a robust, scalable, and automated solution for high availability in storage environments. With features such as synchronous mirroring, automatic failover/back, and flexible operating modes, it addresses the critical requirements of state-of-the-art infrastructure. Companies that rely on reliability and data continuity will find a powerful and proven solution here.
