What does HA Cluster?
If one of the two storage servers fails, the HA Cluster will automatically switch to the running server – without the need for manual intervention. HA Cluster minimizes the disruption of business operations in your organization.
Installation and configuration of our Storage OS takes only few minutes.
You will benefit from enterprise-class performance and a high level of flexibility without being locked to a specific hardware, all at a very reasonable price.
HA Cluster Software is developed especially for the business use. It’s fast, extremely robust and the installation and configuration takes only few minutes.It makes sure that your data is available and reachable even in case of catastrophic events.
Two High Availability Options Tailored to Your Needs
Site-to-Site High Availability and Resilience
With euroNAS Metro Cluster functionality, businesses can synchronize their storage infrastructure across geographically separated locations. This solution is ideal for organizations that require seamless business continuity, even in the event of a site failure. Whether data is mirrored across buildings within a campus or across city, the Metro Cluster ensures real-time data synchronization.
- Secure Site Mirroring: Data is replicated in real-time across locations, so if one site fails, the other immediately takes over. This synchronous replication ensures no data is lost and business operations continue without interruption.
- Automatic Failover and Failback: In the event of a site failure, the other site immediately takes over without administrator intervention. When the failed site is restored, automatic failback ensures full redundancy is re-established.
- Optimized Read and Write Performance: Read operations occur locally to ensure maximum speed, while write operations are synchronously replicated between sites. This setup delivers powerful, secure data storage, with write speeds depending on the network speed and latency between the sites.
This architecture is especially beneficial for organizations that operate geographically distributed infrastructures and need high availability and resilience over large distances.
Dual Head Configuration – Maximum Performance with Shared Storage
The euroNAS Dual Head configuration is designed for environments that demand maximum performance and availability within a single data center. In this setup, both nodes access the same shared storage, ensuring extreme efficiency and speed. This architecture delivers not only high availability but also optimal performance.
- Shared Storage for Maximum Performance: In the Dual Head configuration, both nodes access the same storage, providing extremely fast data processing. There’s no need to replicate data between nodes over the network, maximizing performance.
- Automatic Failover for Seamless Operation: If one node fails, the other immediately takes over all services without interruption. The shared storage architecture ensures that the transition is seamless, with no need to copy or re-synchronize data.
- Ideal for High-Performance Local Environments: The Dual Head configuration is the perfect choice for businesses looking to implement high availability solutions within a single data center without sacrificing performance.
This solution offers the best approach for environments where performance and high availability within a data center are prioritized, such as virtualization, databases, or critical applications.
Comprehensive Protocol Support for Maximum Flexibility
The euroNAS HA Cluster supports a wide range of protocols, catering to various use cases and infrastructures. Supported protocols include:
- iSCSI: Provides block-level access and is widely used in virtualization environments or database storage provisioning.
- SMB: Facilitates file sharing in Windows environments and across platforms, including Linux and macOS.
- NFS: Perfect for Unix- and Linux-based environments, especially for applications requiring high throughput.
- NVMe-oF: Ensures extremely low latency and high performance by accessing NVMe storage over a network.
- NVMe over TCP: Enables NVMe storage access over conventional Ethernet networks without specialized hardware requirements.
This protocol variety makes euroNAS the ideal choice for businesses with diverse IT environments that require high performance and flexibility.
Key Benefits:
- Maximum Availability: Ensure your data and services are available 24/7, even in the event of a failure.
- Unmatched Performance: Choose the configuration that best fits your needs – whether distributed across multiple sites or within a high-performance local data center.
- Flexible Architecture: With multi-protocol support, euroNAS seamlessly integrates into any IT infrastructure, offering maximum flexibility.
- Proven Technology: For nearly 20 years, euroNAS has been providing reliable storage solutions for businesses worldwide.
Fast and easy installation and configuration
HA Cluster is easily installed and configured , usually in under 30 minutes, and offers easy management and monitoring through an intuitive web-based user interface with automated email notifications and warnings. In addition, the mirroring technology and continuous data replication of HA Cluster enables easy planned maintenance on one server in the cluster with no impact on network applications or clients’ access to data.
With euroNAS, I immediately understood the installation and configuration, which can often be confusing with other systems. For me, complex solutions must be understandable for users and that is the case with euroNAS. The support is great and the cluster has been working perfectly since then.
