Extends High Availability and Disaster Recovery Capabilities Across Multi-Site Data Centers With Dynamic Resilience

/EINPresswire.com/ -- MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - October 13, 2015) - Atlantis Computing®, the leading provider of Software-Defined Storage (SDS), today announced the new Atlantis USX™ 3.1 platform that can reduce business continuity costs by 50 percent or more across the entire enterprise. The new Stretched Cluster feature provides organizations with a highly efficient hyper-converged solution enabling zero recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) between multiple data centers.

With Atlantis USX Stretched Cluster, businesses can now tolerate failure of an entire data center without experiencing any disruption in application availability and or loss of data. The USX cluster spans multiple data centers that can be located more than 100 miles apart (up to 8 ms latency) to add a layer of high availability on top of the native data protection. In addition to automated and transparent failover of servers and virtual machines, USX Stretched Cluster manages network failure between data centers to provide complete site failure protection.

"Many of our customers want to provide their businesses with the assurance that all of their critical systems will remain available regardless of power failures or even natural disasters. However, the cost of providing complete resilience with traditional storage puts business continuity out of reach for many organizations," said Chetan Venkatesh, CEO of Atlantis. "With Atlantis USX Stretched Cluster, we have integrated a complete multi-site high availability solution into our SDS platform that can be deployed as part of a hyper-converged architecture at no additional cost."

"Our customers need to build IT infrastructure that can cost-effectively provide high availability and disaster recovery, while enabling them to move data, virtual machines and application workloads between multiple sites that are often 40 to 160 kilometers apart," said Sebastiaan Smit, business development director of TenICT. "They can now replace expensive traditional SAN array replication with an Atlantis USX Stretched Cluster using hyper-converged architectures with direct-attached storage in rack or blade servers, cutting cost and data center space by at least half."

Atlantis USX: Multi-site High Availability and Disaster Recovery without the High Cost

A Stretched Cluster solution typically requires two sites that are identical to each other using synchronous mirroring of expensive SAN storage arrays to prevent data loss. Until now, that mirroring required massive amounts of bandwidth, with businesses typically dedicating leased high-speed communications lines between sites at significant cost. Atlantis USX Stretched Cluster makes synchronous mirroring deduplication-aware, which can dramatically cut the bandwidth requirements. Not only does this cut costs, but also speeds recovery and improves availability because Atlantis re-syncs only the incremental unique data blocks between locations. The Atlantis Stretched Cluster feature allows businesses to dynamically move volumes, data and VMs between sites up to 100 miles apart with up to 8 ms of round trip latency.
