Multi-Site Continuous Availability with Nexenta MetroHA
Nexenta MetroHA brings the cost benefits of Software-Defined Storage to the most critical business
applications. Building on the proven ATTO Fibre Bridge from ATTO Technology, we stretch
a NexentaStor High-Availablity cluster between two sites in the same building, campus or metropolitan
area. Nexenta MetroHA delivers zero data loss and continuous operations in the event of site failures. The
solution synchronously mirrors data between sites and ensures that in the event of a total site disruption,
data services are restored at the remote site within a matter of seconds. Nexenta MetroHA gives data
center managers the ability to protect business critical applications and eliminate the risk of data loss.
