Description
Critical applications require reliable storage! Red Hat Enterprise Linux Resilient Storage Add-On is a solution designed to provide reliable and accessible data storage for critical business applications. Powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it provides a stable and predictable operating environment in hybrid data centers, supporting continuous data access, fast recovery and application reliability. The add-on provides shared storage access to members of a highly available cluster using a shared block device or cluster file system. With support for Red Hat Global File System 2 (GFS2), it enables simultaneous access to shared storage across multiple cluster nodes, offering access to up to 100 terabytes of data over a local storage area network (SAN). Functionality Description High availability Supports highly available clusters, ensuring continuous data access and redundancy. Cluster locking mechanism Manages storage access between nodes, ensuring data integrity. POSIX compliant file system Runs on up to 16 nodes, maintaining file system consistency and performance. SMB and CIFS support Supports Microsoft Windows environments, enabling file sharing and access. Fast recovery Built-in logging, hardware security, and automatic node restarts ensure rapid recovery from node failure. No point of failure (SPOF) GFS2 provides resiliency and minimizes downtime by eliminating points of failure in clustered environments. Integration with virtual environments Seamless integration with Red Hat Virtualization and VMware, offering high availability features for virtual applications. Performance monitoring Integrated with Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) and Cockpit, enabling real-time monitoring of storage performance. ...
