Overview

DRBD Proxy is designed to address the challenges of disaster recovery, particularly when the connection between two locations is cut off or has low quality. It works fully integrated with DRBD, creating a buffer area between locations to ensure smooth data transfer during disconnections. DRBD Proxy supports industry-standard compression, allowing large amounts of data to be transferred with less bandwidth, thus reducing costs.

Features

• Industry Standard Compression: Supports all compression standards in the industry, including LZMA and LZ4, and partners with AHA data compression hardware to minimize CPU usage during data compression.
• Caching Mechanism: Creates a buffer area between locations, ensuring smooth data transfer even during disconnections.
• Perfect Integration with DRBD: Works seamlessly with DRBD to provide real-time replication solutions.
• Off-site Protection: Ensures off-site replicas of data for regulatory compliance and peace of mind during critical site outages and natural disasters.
• Near Real-Time Replication: Mitigates bandwidth, latency, and distance issues by buffering writes into memory, ensuring WAN latency doesn't affect disk throughput.
• Cost-Effective: Costs are per host/node, making enterprise-level disaster recovery affordable for businesses of all sizes.

Benefits
