How STC DRaaS DR works?

STC DRaaS takes full replica of volumes in the first step and then it keeps taking incremental replicas according to Replication and retention policies.

What is Recovery Time Objective (RTO)?

RTO often refers to the quantity of time that a VM/Server, can be down for without causing significant damage to the business as well as the time spent restoring the infrastructure and its data.

What is Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

The maximum amount of lost data, measured in time, from a failure occurrence to the last valid backup. RPO refers to the nearest point in time, which is the duration before the disaster occurs and the last validated data on our premise.

What is Failback?

Once the main site is restored after an accident, it is commonly required to failback the infrastructure to its origin with all the changes that have been accumulated on the backup platform since the launch of the cloud site, and redirect the user traffic accordingly.

What is Failover?

The process of transferring control, either simulated or actual, of an instance from a primary site to a secondary site.

What is Active (Hot) Replication?

In active STC DR replication, the source application is configured for replication to the target site using its built-in (native) replication mechanism. The machines in both the source and the target sites are considered to be Active-Active running (active) instances in the SDDC.

What is Passive (Warm) DR?

STC passive DR Replication utilized a live-replication mechanism to keep the main (source) site and the DR (target) site in sync. Hystax Acura platform is specifically designed to provide customers with an enterprise-grade passive DR Service. This tool provides the DR planning, retention policy, failover and failback functionalities. The machines identified for passive replication will be configured with Hystax for replication from source to target environment.
