Snapshot Service - Creates snapshots of designated disks based on an administrator-defined policy, capturing block-level changes (delta) in data at specified intervals. Administrators can quickly recover files or volumes by mounting a delta snapshot as an active volume. Snapshot images can be used to provide immediate access to data by mounting a temporary "view" of the snapshot, or to create a permanent copy of the snapshot.
Clustering - Allows the IPBank Appliance to be deployed in a two-node active-active failover/fail-back cluster configuration, for high-availability, high-performance environments. Clustering enables seamless host access to storage resources in case of hardware failure on any of the IPBank nodes.
IP Replication - Replicates data from one IPBank appliance to another over IP, and transmits block-level changes (delta) in data to maintain replica accuracy. If the Primary site fails, the Administrator can rapidly mount the replica at the Disaster Recovery site with minimal downtime to ensure optimum availability.
Asynchronous Mirroring - Allows block-level mirroring of storage volumes across long distances, in near-real-time. Asynchronous mirroring enables commands to be staged and delivered to primary disks and also secondary disks over a high-latency connection, without slowing down primary disk access. If the mirror is broken, only changes made to data during the outage will be written to the secondary disk.
Synchronous Mirroring - Delivers write requests simultaneously to primary and secondary disk resources. Mirrors can be created between cabinets for fault tolerance, or to migrate/synchronize data between old disks and new disks.
Backup & BareMetal Recovery - Captures the boot image and data of designated hosts and utilizes the industry standard PXE protocol to boot these machines over an IP network in the event of a boot disk failure due to virus attack, software crash, mechanical failure, human error, etc. As a result, return to service is nearly immediate, reducing potential downtime and greatly improving IT efficiency.
Snapshot Agents - Integrate with application hosts running Oracle®, IBM® DB2 UDB, Sybase®, Microsoft® SQL Server, Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), Microsoft Exchange applications and others, to ensure that delta changes are replicated with transactional integrity.
IP Trunking - Ensures continuous data availability by pinpointing network bottlenecks and physical/logical faults and instantly rerouting network traffic around these faults. Peak performance is also enhanced by load balancing, allowing automatic distribution of traffic among the server's storage paths.
