Cloud storage, rewriting disaster recovery backup future?

Cloud storage concept is extended and developed in the cloud computing, through the cluster application, network technology or Distributed file system functions, the network of a large number of different types of storage devices through the application software together to work together to provide data storage and business access functions of a system.

When the core of cloud computing system operation and processing is large amount of data storage and management, cloud computing system needs to configure a large number of storage devices, then cloud computing system is transformed into a cloud storage system, so cloud storage is a data storage and management as the core cloud computing system.

Cloud storage into enterprise applications

Cloud storage is becoming one of the trends in the global storage industry, and the scope of application of cloud storage products is growing. Compared with the high cost and complex technology of traditional storage backup, cloud storage has a small investment in meeting the requirements of data storage. If the model of cloud storage is used to deal with the backup and disaster-tolerance of the enterprise, it will effectively reduce the cost input and simplify the control technology.

Large data, the enterprise's mass data processing, analysis ability is very critical, however, data storage backup and database response needs to pay more attention. Natural disasters, system failure, enterprise employee misoperation and virus infection can lead to the destruction and loss of data, and how to recover data and encounter unexpected events in time to transform the server are considering the availability of disaster tolerance.

Advantages of disaster recovery backup to enterprises

In today's social network environment, even small enterprises have a lot of work done through the network, there will be many enterprise information in the form of data and stored on the server or computer. The application of the enterprise to the network is more and more, the dependence of the network increases gradually. Data security and backup become the fundamental foundation of the enterprise, data security and disaster recovery backup is an effective means to ensure the stable development of enterprises. Therefore, whether the domestic large enterprises, or the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, must from now on data backup this seemingly "useless" work. It will be too late to make a recovery once the big loss comes up.

Disaster tolerance can be divided into data-level disaster preparedness (PPRC) and application-level disaster preparedness (HAGEO), PPRC is the highest disaster recovery program, mainly applicable to large, medium and telecommunications enterprises, HAGEO is the best real-time disaster backup software AIX platform, relatively economical, but also more stringent hardware configuration.

A good disaster-tolerant backup system can effectively deal with the day-to-day data loss, server downtime and other issues, choose what level of backup, it needs to combine their own situation and decided.

Application of cloud storage to disaster recovery backup

Recently, Netgear constructed Wan Zhaoyun Data center of disaster preparedness.

The Cloud disaster preparation virtualization data center realizes the virtualization low latency, the high throughput transmission, the data center switch provides the high speed million-gigabit interconnection between the server and the storage device, satisfies the desktop virtualization frequently reads and writes the performance demand, achieves the CDP level disaster recovery.

Cloud storage is used for disaster recovery to a large extent reduces the cost of offsite disaster-tolerance, while instant volume creation and instant volume-scaling features save time for volume deployment and expansion, and are consistent with fast and resilient business deployments under cloud computing architectures. Its powerful performance, rich enterprise-class characteristics, excellent scalability and ease of use, so that users of desktop virtualization applications are handy.

The direction of cloud storage applied to disaster recovery is worth considering, in the near future, the output of both will cause the enterprise user and industry's huge vibration. Perhaps, cloud storage virtualization disaster recovery will occupy half of the disaster-tolerant system, or even replace the traditional remote disaster disaster is also possible, of course, the storage industry after the development of the situation, but also to be verified, but the enterprise-level disaster recovery will be more perfect is certain.
