New York Area University Protected Data Availability In Oracle Environment

New York area university reduces TCO, boosts performance, and protects data availability in their Oracle environment.

Case Study: Leading University in New York — SIOS DataKeeper SANless Cluster

The leading university wanted an alternative that would be more cost-effective, deliver faster performance, and provide high availability and data protection for their mission-critical Oracle database. The system maintained all the information for student registration. This institution comprises multiple divisions that serve more than 10,000 students. It ran an HP/UX, SAN-based environment with replication of its full SAN architecture between two fabrics in a cluster. Each fabric had its own SAN cost.

Integration of ioMemory-based IO accelerators with both the servers and SIOS Protection Suite for Linux offered better performance and data availability than traditional legacy solutions. This made the SIOS product a perfect fit.

With servers configured with SanDisk Fusion ioMemory-based IO accelerators, the leading university could replace its bulky and expensive SAN-based setup with a streamlined server set running Linux. SIOS Protection Suite provided data replication. While the SIOS application recovery kit protected the dedicated Oracle machines.

SIOS DataKeeper Delivers High Availability Cluster Protection For Business Critical SQL Server to Mavis Discount Tire

Case Study: Mavis Discount Tire — SIOS DataKeeper Clusters

Leading regional tire retailer Mavis Discount Tire uses SIOS DataKeeper to enable cost-effective, high performance and high availability cluster protection for business critical SQL Server.

The company needed a way to provide high availability (HA) protection for its SQL Server applications and databases that would not impede performance. They were also concerned about the performance impact that SAN storage could have had on the highly transactional SQL Server databases.

The Mavis Discount Tire IT department chose SIOS SANless software to provide high availability cluster protection and disaster recovery (DR) protection without the need for a SAN. Edward Schwartz, CIO, Mavis Discount Tire said that they used WSFC to create two node clusters for their SQL environments in the same way a traditional cluster is created. He added, “we simply added SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition software to enable us to use local storage in a #SANLess configuration.” The SIOS software uses performance-optimized host-based replication to synchronize local storage on the primary and standby nodes in the cluster, creating storage that appears to the WSFC as a SAN.

Mavis Discount Tire has been using SIOS #SANLess clusters to protect its business critical SQL applications for more than four years. The SIOS software provides high availability cluster protection without slowing performance. By using SANless clusters, Mavis IT staff also eliminated the single point of failure risk of a shared storage cluster. “The SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition software is a good technology for a company that is growing rapidly. It is easy to use and eliminates the need to buy unnecessary SAN hardware or redundant switches,” said Schwartz.

SIOS SANless Cluster Delivers Continuous Availability & Disaster Recovery Protection

Case Study: Van de Lande BV — SIOS DataKeeper

SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition enables high performance and high availability protection for critical ERP system running on SQL Server and Web Services in Hyper-V on SSD Storage.

To deliver full failover and disaster recovery protection, Van de Lande (VDL) built a Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) system, with each node replicating data to the other. VDL use SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition software to ensure continuous availability of applications, databases and web services. SIOS DataKeeper software integrates with WSFC to create a ‘mirrored’ server system between two Windows cluster nodes.

High Availability for Global Retailer’s Mission-Critical Systems To Eliminate Risks

Case Study: High Availability for Global Retailer’s Mission-Critical Systems

By adding SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition to a Windows Server Failover Clustering environment in the Amazon Web Services cloud, this global retailer migrated a complex infrastructure into a high availability cluster in the cloud easily and without any downtime.

SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition provided the retailer the high-availability protection they needed and eliminated the risks associated with a single point of failure in shared storage SAN cluster configurations. The SIOS failover process enabled automatic system and application recovery and prevented data loss if a server goes down, allowing the retailer’s customers to shop and place orders online safely without any interruptions.
