Overview
LINBIT DR is a comprehensive disaster recovery solution designed to ensure high availability and data integrity through asynchronous data replication. It leverages LINBIT's DRBD and DRBD Proxy technologies to replicate data from a primary site to a disaster recovery location, using standard x86, ARM, or IBM Power servers. LINBIT DR can replicate data to the public cloud, between campuses, or between public cloud instances, ensuring protection during full site outages. The solution is highly configurable to meet various RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) requirements, making it ideal for enterprises seeking reliable disaster recovery.
Features
- Asynchronous Replication: Ensures data is replicated to a secondary location without affecting application write performance.
- Compression Algorithms: Supports industry-standard compression algorithms like LZMA and LZ4, and partners with AHA data compression hardware to minimize CPU usage.
- Off-Site Protection: Provides off-site replicas of data for regulatory compliance and protection 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.
- High Availability Integration: Can be used with LINBIT HA for combined disaster recovery and high availability solutions.
