Storage Cluster

Metro Cluster solution from EUROstor

Software Based Storage, as opposed to traditional storage systems like RAIDs, are a combination of In a Storage Cluster two or more servers act as one single storage system.
This can be a Scale-Out Cluster, where many nodes join their capacity, performance and bandwidth to the clients.
Or it can be a Failover Cluster, where two nodes offer high availability by presenting themselves as one single system with a virtual address.
A special case is the Metro-Cluster, where the two cluster nodes are placed in different locations.
EUROstor offers all these types of storage clusters will gladly support you to find an appropriate and tailor-made solution.

Storage Cluster: High Availability and Scalability for Your Data – EUROstor

Storage Clusters combine two or more physical storage systems into a single logical storage unit. This enables improved performance, higher availability, and better scalability compared to individual storage systems. EUROstor offers various types of storage clusters and is happy to assist you in selecting the optimal and customized solution for your needs.

In Scale-Out clusters, multiple nodes combine their capacity, processing power, and bandwidth, presenting them to clients as a single virtual system. This allows the performance and capacity of the storage system to be scaled linearly with the number of nodes. On the other hand, Failover clusters ensure high data availability by having two or more nodes with a shared virtual address act as a single system towards the clients. In the event of a node failure, another node automatically takes over its tasks, minimizing downtime.

A special case is the Metro-Cluster, which spans two geographically separated locations or fire protection zones. This configuration provides the highest level of fault tolerance and allows operations to continue even if an entire site fails.
