Site-level Disaster Recovery Solution for the Financial Industry

Site-level and regional disasters are often caused by broader infrastructure failures, emergencies, or natural disasters. Macrosan site-level disaster recovery solution minimizes service disruptions caused by disasters and makes full use of the infrastructure resources of two data centers in the same city to maximize the utility of IT investments. Active-Active data center minimize the impact of local and site-level disasters on business continuity. Combined with asynchronous data replication technology, active-active data center can realize geo-redundant disaster recovery and meet the basic requirements of regulators for remote disaster recovery. It makes up for the deficiency of traditional disaster recovery methods based on data replication technology:

1.Site switchover requires application restart

2.Complex and precise business continuity plans are required to ensure small RTO

3.The global availability of the system is insufficient

4.The resources in the disaster recovery center are idle for a long time, resulting in a lot of waste

Macrosan can provide customers in the financial industry with a storage device-based ring-3 site disaster recovery solution. It provides higher reliability than traditional site-level disaster recovery schemes.

Two MS series storage devices are configured with SDAS to implement real-time data synchronization and automatic service switchover across sites, ensuring service continuity. Deploy an MS series storage device in a remote disaster backup room, and configure asynchronous replication from dual active data center A to the disaster backup room, as well as asynchronous replication from dual active data center B to the disaster backup room. If either end of the hypermetro data center fails, the replication task can still run properly to ensure data security.

Macrosan SDAS capabilities support very flexible deployment modes, can be 10/25/100GE or 16/32 Gbit/s FC networking, support deployment in a data center, but also support tens of kilometers of remote deployment. The replication function also supports flexible deployment modes, including scheduled replication, periodic replication, and continuous replication. The combined solution of SDAS+ replication can meet the diversified configuration requirements of users on the basis of ensuring high availability of data centers.

  Financial industry customers do not need to worry about disaster recovery risks, and all critical systems and applications are covered to meet financial industry customers' recovery time target RTO, recovery point target RPO, and regulatory compliance requirements.

  MacroSAN Disaster recovery consulting services can assist financial customers to build an integrated operation and maintenance management system and related processes for production and disaster recovery, so as to achieve full coverage of automatic disaster recovery switching, improve risk management level and business continuity management capabilities. After the site-level disaster recovery solution is deployed, the same-city data center can undertake core services such as real-time query and data analysis, improving infrastructure utilization.

  In the event of an unplanned emergency, intra-city cross-data center switchover can be intelligently implemented without interruption, and service operations are completely transparent, with RPO=0 and RTO≈0.

  For planned or foreseeable events, we can transparently migrate production load to another secure site, avoiding the "local shutdown, remote start" process of traditional clustering or disaster recovery technology solutions.
