Active-Passive NFS and iSCSI Failover Active-Active NFS and iSCSI Failover Open-E DSS V7 Benefits Open-E DSS V7 Certified Servers Open-E DSS V7 is a Linux-based data storage software ensuring Business Conti- nuity, High Availability and centralized storage management. This unified file and block-level operating system provides support for multiple infrastructures such as 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE, FC, Infiniband, and offers NAS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel (both target and initiator) functionality in a single application. It is one of the most stable and secure solutions on the market, helping both SMBs and SMEs to imple- ment high performing, yet cost-effective and robust data storage solutions. The Active-Passive Failover provides fault tolerance via synchronous Volume Replication for NFS shares and iSCSI volumes. It uses a setup with two nodes in an active-passive configuration. Once configured, all data written to the primary server is mirrored to the secondary server. In case the primary server fails, the software automatically switches all operations to the secondary server. Also, NFS and iSCSI locks are reas- signed to the secondary server after the primary one fails. With the Active-Active NFS and iSCSI Failover Feature Pack for Open-E DSS V7 you can double the performance of your storage system, increase sequential read and write performance by 100% and shorten switching time almost twice, compared to Active-Passive. Reason is the way load balancing in an active-active cluster works, utilizing the maxi- mum of all storage resources. With no Single Point of Failure the read, write and replication traffic can be balanced on both nodes. If one node fails, the other one takes over automatically and all application services continue to run without interruption. Open-E partners continuously certify storage servers and hardware in our laboratories. Systems that have been certified with Open-E DSS V7 are suitable for all storage applications and since they have different recommendations, they perform even better in specific setups. For example, systems certified for high availability clusters are suitable for a variety of storage applications and additionally provide exceptional performance as part of a failover cluster. For a list of all certified servers, go to http://www.open-e.com/products/data-storage-software-v7/certi- fied-servers/ To support Open-E DSS V7 users even further, many Open-E Partners have an Open-E Certified engineer on board, who can help with configu- ration, deployment and maintenance.
