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. […]
Configuring Highly Available NVMe-oF Attached Storage in Proxmox VE

LINBIT® develops and supports software used to build high availability clusters for almost any application or platform out there. It does this by creating tools and frameworks that can be used in generic ways that can be used by most applications, rather than building application-specific products that might only work for a single application. While […]
The Stretched Cluster Disaster Recovery Strategy

My colleague, Yusuf Yildiz, a solutions architect here at LINBIT® strongly believes disaster recovery (DR) should be thought of as a plan, rather than a solution. It is impossible for there to be a one-size-fits-all DR solution that works for everyone. Each organization needing DR will have different values that it places on different services […]
NAS High Availability Using a Synology NAS Appliance & LINBIT Software

Recently I came across Synology’s spin on high availability. After perusing through their documentation I noticed an all too familiar protocol: DRBD®. 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 […]
