Disaster Recovery Solutions
LINBIT DR uses LINBIT software to enable streaming block replication over long distances. It includes DRBD and DRBD Proxy for asynchronous replication without affecting application write performance. DRBD Proxy supports compression algorithms for low-bandwidth WAN connections. Use LINBIT DR with LINBIT HA for disaster recovery and high availability.
LINBITÂ DR mirrors your data to a secondary location and automatically migrates services during a primary site outage.
LINBIT® DR enables asynchronous data replication from your primary site to a Disaster Recovery location, all using standard X86, ARM, or IBM Power servers. It can replicate data from your primary site to the public cloud, between campuses, or between public cloud instances to ensure protection during full site outages. LINBIT can configure automatic fail-overs between sites to ensure minimal downtime when an outage occurs. LINBIT DR will replicate any application or database and is highly configurable to meet your organization’s RPO and RTO requirements.
With a High Availability background of over 15 years, you can rest assured that LINBIT DR is a reliable platform for your storage. Even better, since the software performs at the block level in the stack, its replication performance is unparalleled.
Whether for regulatory compliance or peace of mind, an off-site replica of your data is designed to protect your important information during critical site outages, natural disasters, and other unfortunate circumstances. As a crucial part of your business continuity plan, LINBIT is dedicated to keeping your services applications up and running during even the most critical failures.
Unlike many proprietary vendors who make you purchase an expensive black box with licensed hardware and software and charge per machine Socket or per Gigabyte transferred, DRBD Proxy’s costs are per host/node. This makes Enterprise Level Disaster Recovery affordable for businesses of all sizes.
DRBD Proxy mitigates bandwidth, latency, and distance issues by buffering writes into memory ensuring that your WAN latency doesn’t become your disk throughput. Data is transferred as fast as your link can handle. Your organization can ensure Synchronous High Availability locally and Asynchronous Disaster Recovery replication off-site by using open source DRBD and DRBD Proxy together.
To further mitigate bandwidth, latency, and distance constraints, DRBD Proxy includes native LZMA and LZ4 data compression options. For users looking to replicate an extensive amount of data using minimal CPU, LINBIT has partnered with AHA data compression hardware to minimize the CPU usage during data compression.

Our products are not backup solutions, they are real time replication solutions. We still recommend a sound snapshot technology is used along side our products. Real-time replication solutions like ours allow for minimal interruption during disasters.
