QuestionQ40

FlexPod Design

During a design meeting, a customer says their objective is to provide continuous availability across both network and storage during business-continuity events. The customer has two data centers 80 km apart and wants the configuration to be as logically unified across both sites as possible.

In this scenario, which FlexPod data-protection solution meets this goal?

  • A FlexPod with NetApp Cloud Sync
  • B FlexPod with NetApp SnapCenter
  • C FlexPod with NetApp MetroCluster IP
  • D FlexPod with NetApp FabricPool
Explanation

NetApp MetroCluster IP provides continuously available storage across geographically separated data centers. It uses two physically separate clusters that synchronously replicate data and SVM configuration, enabling service to continue from the surviving site during a site disaster. MetroCluster IP supports metropolitan-area deployments and provides the cross-site IP storage-fabric architecture needed for this design.
