Active/passive and active/active DR strategies. Active/passive DR. Figure 2 categorizes DR strategies as either active/passive or active/active. In Figure 3, we show how active/passive works. All requests are now switched to be routed there in a process called “failover.”

Customers only pay for resources when needed, such as during a failover or DR testing. Automation and orchestration: Many cloud-based DR solutions offer automated failover and failback, reducing downtime and simplifying disaster recovery processes. This is a cost-effective solution but with a higher recovery time objective (RTO).

HDD devices are slower, but they have a large storage capacity. Even with the higher speed capacity, an SSD has its disadvantages over an HDD, depending on your application. Traditionally, the biggest disadvantages of an SSD have been price, degradation, and capacity. SSD devices are faster, but they also cost more.

I use these examples to illustrate the huge difference between a simple active-passive database running on two servers and a scalable cloud-native database that gets lost when you describe a system merely as “shared-nothing.” And with Pure Storage’s shared-NVRAM approach, this makes controller failover events completely non-disruptive.

Resource Balancer only uses capacity-free space to determine where to place the new volume.¹³ This is why PowerStore can support different models with different capacities in the same “cluster,” because data is located only on one appliance at a time. Item #3: “ Active/Active Controller Architecture”¹⁴ Is a Good Thing We see this B.S.

In the cloud, everything is thick provisioned and you pay separately for capacity and performance. Controller 1 is actively using those resources while controller 2 is in a standby configuration. You can update the software on controller 2, then failover so that it’s active.

The capacity listed for each model is effective capacity with a 4:1 data reduction rate. . Pure Cloud Block Store provides the following benefits to SQL Server instances that utilize its volumes for database files: A reduction in cost for cross availability zone/region traffic and capacity consumption.
