NetApp MetroCluster and FlexPod Datacenter Support
MetroCluster, which is built into NetApp's ONTAP data management software, offers a high-availability and disaster recovery solution that uses continuous synchronous mirroring of volumes between clustered NetApp FAS or All Flash FAS (AFF) storage systems located up to 300 km apart. Designed to eliminate planned and unplanned downtime and to provide non-stop data availability for mission-critical applications, MetroCluster's array-based clustering features single-command recovery and provides zero recovery point objective (RPO) and sub-two-minute failover time (RTO) with single-command recovery. No manual intervention is needed for VMware ESX hosts accessing the NetApp FAS storage array via NFS/iSCSI/FCP protocol. Integration with NetApp SnapMirror allows you to meet SLA requirements over longer distances, and inline data reduction technologies including compression and deduplication reduce mirrored storage requirements by at least 4:1.
FlexPod Datacenter is a service-oriented, best-practice private cloud architecture developed and validated jointly by NetApp and Cisco to consolidate servers, network fabric and storage assets for hosting infrastructure software and shared business applications. FlexPod works with major operating systems and hypervisors from Microsoft, VMware and Red Hat. Key components of the FlexPod system include Cisco UCS servers, Cisco converged FC/Ethernet switches, and NetApp SAN storage. NFS and CIFS shared storage access is supported for iSCSI or Fibre Channel. Private cloud features include secure multitenancy and metering for chargeback. Popular uses of FlexPod include virtual desktop deployment, enterprise application hosting, and delivering software-as-a-service (SaaS).
NetApp MetroCluster combined with FlexPod Datacenter streamlines the deployment and reduces the risk of implementing the infrastructure for private, public or hybrid clouds. Progent's deep roster of subject matter experts can help you design, implement, manage and troubleshoot comprehensive MetroCluster/FlexPod solutions by providing the online or onsite services of veteran consultants such as a NetApp-certified network architect, a Cisco-certified CCIE engineer, a VMware VCDX-certified network virtualization specialist, a Microsoft-certified Exchange expert, a Citrix-certified XenDesktop consultant, and other consulting professionals with task-relevant expertise.
