CLOUD NATIVE OBSIDIAN OVERVIEW

Cloud Native Obsidian (CNO) is a comprehensive, on-premises cloud storage solution based on Cloud Native architecture. As a distributed software-defined storage solution, CNO provides the durability and fault tolerance for today’s always-on data center. Highly scalable, vertically and horizontally, for both capacity and/or performance, our CNO storage solution can be infinitely expanded. Optimized with multi-protocol support, CNO provides the flexibility to deploy across many of the most demanding IT use cases.

CNO simple storage management makes the adoption of cloud-native services pain-free while letting you focus on your business strategy and achieving faster time to market for your storage solutions. CNO provides local storage capacity with lower latency performance and no complicated storage tiers, when compared to Cloud based storage. CNO removes traditional RAID hardware constraints by simply allowing additional, qualified storage nodes to be added to the CNO clusters and providing a scalable storage lifecycle, under one cloud native storage manager.

Data Replication

Data replication is the process of copying/synchronizing data from one source to one or more destinations. It is a common practice in many enterprises, as it allows for the availability of data in multiple locations. CNO built-in data replication feature helps streamline and simplify the complex and challenging process of implementing the data replication requirements with no added costs.

Cloud Native Obsidian Data Replication

Viking CNO Replication is an elastic, fully managed, feature that replicates objects between buckets. CNO replication is based on S3 which offers the most flexibility and functionality that is found in Cloud Storage, but now at your datacenter thereby giving you the controls you need to meet your data sovereignty and other business needs.

CNO Replication Workflow

CNO provides the replication controls in its simple user friendly interface.  A storage or an application administrator can easily create replication and configure the parameters without needing to know a lot about storage, protocols, networking and cloud.

Customers needing a predictable replication time backed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) can use Replication Time Control (RTC) to replicate objects without impacting performance for local users.

CNO data replication feature also provides detailed metrics and notifications to monitor the status of object replication between buckets. You can monitor replication progress by tracking bytes pending, operations pending, replication latency, and operations failed replication using the CNO Storage Management User Interface. You can also set up CNO Event Notifications to receive replication failure notifications to quickly diagnose and correct configuration issues. CNO data replication metrics and notifications help you closely monitor replication progress.

Benefits of CNO Data Replication

CNO Data Replications makes data available on multiple data centers thereby facilitating large-scale sharing of data among systems and distributes the network load among multisite systems.

Organizations can expect to see benefits including:

Improved reliability and availability: If one system goes down due to faulty hardware, malware attack, or another problem, the data can be accessed from a different site.

Improved network performance: Having the same data in multiple locations can lower data access latency, since required data can be retrieved closer to where the transaction is executing.

Increased data analytics support: Replicating data to a data warehouse empowers distributed analytics teams to work on common projects for business intelligence.

Improved test system performance: Data replication facilitates the distribution and synchronization of data for test systems that demand fast data accessibility.

 

CNO local replication delivers convenient and cost-effective local data copies using cloud standards based S3 protocol to full-bucket clones. It generates copies faster and more frequently than host-based solutions, with no impact on production applications.

CNO Remote replication copying data to remote CNO storage clusters at a remote location or secondary site as part of a disaster recovery plan or data protection solution. Remote replication is used by data-driven organizations to back up important data into remote or secondary locations in case of problems with the primary production data such as disasters, malfunctions or attacks on the system that may result in data loss.

 

CNO Data Storage Replication also supports moving data between cloud object storage and CNO.  Hybrid cloud users can replicate to and from any S3 compatible cloud vendor including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.  This gives users cost effective options for storing data either locally, remotely, or in the cloud.

Data migration is usually driven by an application migration or consolidation in which legacy systems are replaced or augmented by new applications that will share the same dataset. These days, data migrations are often started as firms move from on-premises infrastructure and applications to cloud-based storage and applications to optimize or transform their company.
