In the current evolving environments with unstructured data growing rapidly, enterprises are looking for solutions to replicate critical data for protection, scale, data validation and so on. Managing and maintaining this data in an efficient and cost-effective way is a key aspect for any successful enterprise.
PowerFlex is a software-defined storage platform that is designed to reduce operational and infrastructure complexity, empowering organizations to move faster by delivering flexibility, elasticity, and simplicity with predictable performance and resiliency at scale. The PowerFlex family provides a foundation that combines compute and high-performance storage resources in a managed, unified fabric. With both block and file capabilities available as part of the PowerFlex platform, administrators can easily implement a scalable, high performance, and flexible solution that is designed for the modern data center.
The Datadobi StorageMAP software solution helps to easily, quickly, cost effectively, and accurately keep a clean copy of any unstructured data. It is compatible with NFSv3, NFSv4 or SMB protocols. StorageMAP helps replicate valuable data and allows for a quick failover to the target system for continued operations.
This paper provides guidance in configuring Datadobi StorageMAP for data replication between source and target PowerFlex file servers and documents the steps for file-based replication scenarios.
