CHAPTER 1-1 Data Center: SAN Extension for Business Continuance Version 1.2 1 SAN Extension for Business Continuance: Overview This chapter provides product knowledge and design guidance about how to extend the capacity of Storage Area Networks (SAN) using Cisco products. It includes the following topics: • Overview, page 1-1 • Replication and Mirroring, page 1-3 • SAN Extension Transport Overview, page 1-7 • SAN Extension Solutions, page 1-12 • Summary, page 1-22 Overview Storage Area Network (SAN) Extension is one of the enabling technologies for enterprise business continuance. An extended SAN increases the geographic distance allowed for SAN storage operations, in particular for data replication and copy operations. By replicating or copying data to an alternate site, an enterprise can protect its data in the event of disaster at the primary site. You should consider the following three factors when determining your business continuance requirements: • Recovery time objective (RTO) • Recovery point objective (RPO) • Disaster radius The RTO and RPO provide a measurable target for business continuance and disaster recovery purposes. It also presents a firm basis from which to design the underlying SAN extension network. RTO refers to how long it takes for the enterprise systems to resume operation after a disaster. RTO is the longest time that your organization can tolerate. This is shown below in Figure 1-1. 1-2 Data Center: SAN Extension for Business Continuance Version 1.2 Chapter 1 SAN Extension for Business Continuance: Overview Overview Figure 1-1 Recovery Time and Recovery Time Objective The technologies and processes used in a network largely determine how well an organization achieves its RTO. For example, an extended cluster offers better recovery capabilities than manual migration or tape-based restoration. RPO refers to how current or fresh the data is after a disaster. This is shown below in Figure 1-2. RPO is the maximum data loss that your organization can tolerate after a disaster. Figure 1-2 Recovery Point and Recovery Point Objective As with the RTO, the systems, processes and technologies employed will determine if you achieve your RPO. Additionally, the distance between the data centers, and how well your applications tolerate network latency, determine whether zero RPO is possible. The following recovery technologies support increasingly lower RPO at increasingly higher cost: • Tape backup and restore • Periodic replication and backups • Asynchronous replication • Synchronous replication. The disaster radius refers to how extensive the disaster is. Earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes, cyclones and attacks will all have varying probabilities and disaster radii according to the geographic region in which they occur. The key issue is that the backup site must not be within the radius of possible threats. For example, an earthquake could destroy both primary and secondary data centers if they were both separated geographically but connected by a major fault line. Many enterprises adopt a multi-hop strategy to minimize their exposure to this situation—two data centers located within metro distances, and a third disaster recovery site located out of the region. This is shown below in Figure 1-3. 104725 Disaster occurs Systems Inoperative Systems Recovered and Operational time t 1 Recovery time time t 2 time 104726 Disaster occurs Period over which data is "lost" Last point at which data is in a valid state time t 0 Recovery point time t 1 time [...]... information, with special consideration of the trade-offs between application performance, geographical separation, and RPO/RTO, will provide a solid basis for determining the appropriate replication and SAN Extension solution for your enterprise Data Center: SAN Extension for Business Continuance 1-22 Version 1.2 Chapter 1 SAN Extension for Business Continuance: Overview Summary Data Center: SAN Extension. ..
