Metro node addresses the following use cases:
- Data mobility—The ability to move applications and data across storage arrays in the same data center, between data centers across a campus, or in a geographical region. Metro node moves data transparently, and the virtual volumes retain the same identities and the same access points to the host. It is not necessary to reconfigure the host.
- Continuous availability—The ability to create a continuously available storage infrastructure across the same data center or between data centers. Customers can withstand failures of storage arrays, cluster components, an entire site failure, or loss of communication between sites (when two clusters are deployed) and still keep applications and data online and available.
By using metro node, you can transform the delivery of IT to a flexible, efficient, reliable, and resilient service.
