NetApp High Availability System Configuration

Get continuous data availability for your business-critical environments with the NetApp® active-active controller.

Minimize overhead and reduce operator errors while enhancing the availability of your environment. Install an active-active controller on a pair of NetApp’s storage controllers, and each services its own workload while monitoring the other controller.

If a controller fails, the other one takes over the workload. The transfer is seamless to your users and business operations.

Give your administrators greater flexibility with the ability to manage long-distance clustered systems.

Let your administrators have continuous data service during scheduled maintenance and upgrades by manually initiating a failover operation.

Rest assured knowing our active-active controller is constantly monitoring the health of your clustered storage appliances. If it detects a hardware failure, the system automatically initiates a failover operation to transfer data to the partner storage appliance.

Key Points

• Schedule maintenance without impacting data availability
• Take control over when to restore a clustered storage system to its normal state
• Install and configure clustered storage systems in less than 30 minutes
• Use no idle resources for cluster operation
