Enabling Long Distance Replication for Disaster Recovery Using LINSTOR & DRBD Proxy
In this video Matt Kereczman from LINBIT® combines components of LINBIT SDS and LINBIT to demonstrate extending an existing LINSTOR® managed DRBD® volume to a disaster recovery node, located in a geographically-separated datacenter via LINSTOR and DRBD proxy. Watch the video: He’s already created a LINSTOR cluster on four nodes: linstor-a, linstor-b, linstor-c and linstor-dr. […]

Recognizing this software and having a recent desire to tinker a bit, I picked up two DS224+ hardware storage appliances, one of their least expensive models. LINBIT® is no stranger to assisting companies implement high availability […]
