Replication duplicates data between storage systems to facilitate data availability during disaster recovery. The replication architecture of NetApp® Element® software addresses your current business requirements such as speed of recovery and maximum permissible data loss.

Oct 30, 2020 · You can replicate data between working environments by choosing a one-time data replication for data transfer, or a recurring schedule for disaster recovery or long-term retention. For example, you can set up data replication from an on-prem ONTAP system to Cloud Volumes ONTAP for disaster recovery.

Sep 17, 2024 · While three separate volumes deliver optimal manageability, synchronous replication requires a single container. This RAC environment needs to be replicated and kept in sync as a unified whole. If site failure occurs, all resources at the surviving site need to be consistent with one another.

NetApp SnapMirror, a robust replication technology integrated within ONTAP, provides efficient, scalable, and high-performance data protection solutions across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. This paper examines SnapMirror's architectural …

NetApp® E-Series and EF-Series systems provide rock-solid local and remote data mirroring capabilities by using the NetApp SANtricity® synchronous and asynchronous mirroring features.

NetApp MetroCluster is a solution that combines array-based clustering with synchronous replication to deliver continuous availability and zero data loss. Administration of the array-based cluster is simpler because the dependencies and complexities normally associated with host-based clustering are eliminated.

MetroCluster replication is based on NetApp SyncMirror technology, which is designed to efficiently switch into and out of synchronous mode. This capability meets the requirements of customers who demand synchronous replication, but who also need high availability for …

Feb 13, 2024 · Figure 3 illustrates the updated architecture with synchronous data replication, while Figure 4 demonstrates the "healthy" and "In sync" status of the SnapMirror active sync relationship in ONTAP System Manager.

SnapMirror synchronous (SM-S) replication enhances SnapMirror asynchronous data protection to the next level by replicating in real-time every write or modify request from the application to two different volumes simultaneously. The main advantages of using SM-S include: Robust enterprise technology.

Asynchronous replication continuously replicates data from a source cluster to a target cluster without waiting for the acknowledgments from the target cluster. During asynchronous replication, writes are acknowledged to the client (application) after they are committed on the source cluster.
