Answered a question: When evaluating High Availability Clustering, what aspect do you think is the most important to look for?

RPO. Can the technology do synchronous replication, or must it work in asynchronous mode? I believe this is the single most important question to ask from a "data protection" standpoint.

Commented on It's kept data synchronized between multiple nodes in different datacenters, though it should have its own filesystem which can be used in multi-master environments.

Disclosure, I am a LINBIT employee (the DRBD software developers) Thanks for the review! As a note; LINBIT has a DRBD roadmap if you want to see what is coming out next, just shoot us a quick e-mail and request it. The DRBD9 version allows for scalability greater than two…

About me

In an "always on" world, downtime and data loss are unacceptable yet hardware failure is inevitable. LINBIT's goal is to mitigate server failures, minimizing downtime and data loss during outages. LINBIT (DRBD) is the Linux technology leader in High Availability and Disaster Recovery clustering technologies.

In my role as Business Development Manager I am responsible for building international relations, both in terms of technology and business collaboration. We are keen to connect with potential technology partners, collaborate with businesses in new territories, and explore opportunities for new Joint Ventures.
