Enterprise SAN data storage and remote data disaster recovery solution

I. Introduction

Network storage devices provide information access and sharing services for network information systems, and their main characteristics are reflected in: large storage capacity, high data transmission rate, and high system availability. Traditional network storage devices connect RAID disk arrays directly to the server of the network system. This form of network storage structure is called DAS (Direct Attached STorage). In addition, SAN (Storage Area Network) and NAS (Network Attached Storage) are also two common storage architectures.

SAN (Storage Area Network) is a high-speed storage network similar to ordinary local area networks. SAN provides an easy way to connect to existing LANs, allowing enterprises to independently increase storage capacity and make network performance independent of data access. . This independent proprietary network storage method makes the SAN have the advantages of high scalability, good manageability, and strong fault tolerance.

2. Demand analysis

With the increase of enterprise business data and the increasing dependence of applications on data, the processing requirements for effective data collection, centralized management, comprehensive analysis, and disaster recovery backup are increasing. Enterprise business systems usually have the following requirements for storage systems:

1. Data centralization

The centralized data storage and management model is conducive to the linkage processing between various businesses, and is conducive to the realization of hierarchical authorization, strengthening control and supervision, and improving the level of intensive management.

2. Business integration

Comprehensive business processing is to tightly combine various businesses into a whole, make information sharing among various systems to eliminate information islands, and lay a solid foundation for data mining and decision analysis.

3. Ensure data security

As a highly centralized system of data, the integrated business processing system has the highest priority in data security. A set of strict safeguards must be established from the aspects of network, operating system, database, storage equipment, etc. to ensure 100% availability of enterprise, user and business data.

4. Ensure high reliability and high availability of the system

The data backup of the integrated business processing system is the basic means to ensure high reliability and high availability of data. Establishing the same backup system as the business system locally or remotely, or backing up the data of the integrated business processing system in real time, will greatly improve the reliability of data resources.

5. Improve efficiency and reduce costs

Since traditional data is relatively scattered, management and backup are very difficult, and it is easy to cause damage or loss, and the security is very low. Under the integrated business processing system, data is highly centralized, management and backup are very convenient, which improves work efficiency and reduces system cost.

6. Improve compatibility and scalability

Since the integrated business processing system covers many application systems, it needs to have good compatibility and scalability. Comprehensive analysis of different user data information will enhance the pertinence and accuracy of the work. As the business expands and the amount of data increases, the scalability of the storage system is particularly important. Good scalability can ensure business continuity.

7. Data backup

With the continuous improvement and continuous operation of business systems, business data and application systems urgently need effective data security protection measures. In this case, effective data backup methods must be adopted to ensure the high security of network systems and application systems, and the establishment of an automated, cross-platform network backup management system is conducive to future system development requirements.

8. Remote data disaster recovery

The occurrence of computer system disasters is multifaceted. From the perspective of computer data management, the misoperation of the operator results in the destruction of the system and the loss of the database. System factors such as fire, earthquake, flood, etc. Maintaining business continuity is an important aspect that users need to consider when storing data. Using remote data disaster recovery methods can improve the high reliability of the system and truly protect business continuity.

Disaster recovery includes data disaster recovery and application disaster recovery. Data disaster tolerance refers to the establishment of a remote data system, which is a real-time copy of local key application data. In the event of a disaster in the local data and the entire application system, the system at least keeps a copy of the critical business data available in different locations. Application disaster recovery is based on data disaster recovery, and establishes a complete set of backup application systems (which can be mutual backups) equivalent to local production systems in different places. Building such a system is relatively complicated, not only requires a copy of the available data, but also resources including network, host, application, and even IP, as well as good coordination between the resources.
