The infrastructural change. 0 Objective The customer who works in the financial sector needed to increase the service levels of his Mission Critical applications, essential for the correct operation of the organization such as, for example, data security, maximum availability and performance scalability , providing continuity even in cases of "catastrophic" scenarios. Original infrastructure The original solution was based on an infrastructure built at 3 levels and on 2 sites (production + Disaster Recovery), where in each site there was a Lenovo chassis and a storage connected through a Storage Area Network (SAN). The whole application environment was based on a virtual infrastructure. Points for improvement The points for improvement of the infrastructure were: “Disaster Recovery” procedure based on the management of asynchronous replication and reactivation of services on the secondary site. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) equal to 5 minutes (based on snapshot timing). Recovery Time Objective (RTO) between 8 and 24 hours Failure scenarios based on two metropolitan sites (distance between sites less than 300 KM) La nuova infrastruttura Per migliorare e risolvere i punti di attenzione presenti nell’infrastruttura iniziale, sono state introdotti dei cambi architetturali con i seguenti benefici: Inserimento di un layer di virtualizzazione dello storage che ha consentito di realizzare un unico storage virtuale esteso tra i due siti in distanza metropolitana. Duplicazione dei dati (Active mirroring) ospitati sugli storage fisicamente presenti sui due siti e accedibili contemporaneamente da entrambi i siti con il beneficio di aumentare il livello di disponibilità del dato e quindi abbassando il valore di Recovery Point Objective pari a 0 secondi (dati sempre allineati) trasformando un servizio da Disaster Recovery in un servizio di Business Continuity. Improvement of the Disaster Recovery procedure by eliminating the activities necessary to restore services in the event of failure of one of the primary sites (underground distance). Recovery Time Objective equal to 0. Introduction of a third site for Disaster Recovery. New storage and a new chassis installed on a site about 300 KM away from the primary sites have been included in the architecture, to ensure availability of services even in the event of disasters involving both metropolitan sites (earthquakes, floods, natural disasters ).
