High availability without a premium SAN

Beechglen BGDSANs leverage DRBD to provide a clustered, high availability solution for legacy HP3000 and HP9000 servers — a low-cost alternative to expensive redundant SANs. DRBD synchronizes operating system files and user data alike to a secondary BGDSAN, maintaining an up-to-date standby available at a moment’s notice. It carries little overhead and no impact to the production server, operating efficiently and directly between the replicating BGDSANs.

Features

  • DRBD replicates data in real time — replication happens continuously while applications modify data on the BGDSAN.
  • DRBD replicates transparently — host servers and their applications are oblivious to the fact that data is stored on several storage devices.
  • DRBD can be understood as network based RAID-1.
