NetApp MetroCluster software is a solution that combines array-based clustering with synchronous
replication to deliver continuous availability and zero data loss at the lowest cost. The vendor states administration of the array-based cluster is simpler because the dependencies and complexity normally associated with hostbased clustering are eliminated. MetroCluster immediately duplicates mission-critical data on a transaction-by-transaction basis, providing uninterrupted access to applications…
As said before Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is very useful for DR scenarios where you have your data up-to-date in another site/place where your Recovery Point Objective should be short - this is our case regarding some critical applications - and VOM is the best tool, in my opinion, to make those things happen.
NetApp MetroCluster is suited for applications which require 100% uptime with no data loss. It is suitable for organizations who have the need to move their NAS services and workloads to another data center with minimal downtime and configuration. Due to the cost of the product, it is not well suited for NAS file shares that require greater than zero RPO and RTO's. NetApp asynchronous is better suited for this type of data.
The features that Dell EMC and Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager offer are similar, and both are backed up by an impressive client portfolio. The difference is given by the cost,Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager, unfortunately, has a higher cost, in a world where Data Protection solutions are not the main reason why clients might choose you from a list of options. I believe that if it would diversify its portfolio, Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager would keep its leading marketing position for small-medium-size companies as well.
By keeping the data safe, with scheduled deletion options of certain sensitive information, we keep our company safe and avoid fines, reputational damage.
While the overall cost of Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager solutions are high, choosing or changing the location of where the data is stored in EU comes free of charge.
Automatic backup and recovery of data helps us maintain of certain level of trust, less disturbance in daily operations, reducing the high cost that tech data outages would cause.
By moving critical application data away from older based technology such as host based mirroring and to a centralized array based replication, the complexity of managing data from multiple source and destination servers has been removed.
The number of incidents compared to our previous legacy configuration is huge. Data uptime has been 100% available since the migration to NetApp MetroCluster.
