Defining Availability and Disaster Recovery

• High Availability (HA) refers to eliminating the business impact & downtime due to a hardware failure

RAID-DPActive-Active controllers

• Continuous Availability extends HA by providing protection from external events such as power, cooling and network failures, eliminating planned and unplanned downtime and data loss

MetroCluster

• Disaster Recovery provides site resiliency protecting against failures that affect an entire datacenter

SnapMirror

High Availability Protects Against Storage System Failures

• Typical enterprise storage arrays employ internal resiliency to eliminate single points of failure

Public Sector

• The challenge: Provide consolidation of their Windows file-serving environmentProvide higher availability and simplifying management and backup of data

• The solution: Deployed V-Series with MetroCluster

• Benefits: Eliminated 15 Windows file serversAchieved continuous availability failover between buildings with NetApp by leveraging deployed assets Network performance increased greatly for all Windows file services users Achieved consolidation objectives before beginning deployment of virtualization platform

The Experience at University Healthcare Network

• Challenge

Provide safe and reliable data storage, minimize downtime, and improve the recovery process

• Solution

Used NetApp Professional Services to migrate PACS data to a new MetroCluster solutionNetApp FAS6070 clustersMajor Canadian

healthcare system

We can recover site data with one-button touch, giving us the ability to access our medical images in minutes even after a widespread site failure. This capability ultimately improves healthcare for all of the hospital’s patients by ensuring that key medical information is continuously available to all of our doctors and other healthcare professionals.”
