Disaster recovery configuration for Fusion Data Foundation

Disaster recovery offerings of IBM Fusion HCI with Fusion Data Foundation storage.

Disaster recovery provides the ability to fail over an application from one Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform cluster to another. It also allows relocating the same application back to the original primary cluster.

IBM Fusion HCI with Fusion Data Foundation storage supports the regional disaster recovery (Regional-DR) capability that protects applications and virtual machines (VMs) against regional failures and disaster scenarios like data center failures, maintaining predictable data loss and business continuity. For more information, see Regional-DR configuration for Fusion Data Foundation.

Region failure in Regional-DR is expressed by using the terms, Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
  • RPO is a measure of how frequently you take backups or snapshots of persistent data. In practice, the RPO indicates the amount of data that will be lost or need to be reentered after an outage.
  • RTO is the amount of downtime a business can tolerate. The RTO answers the question, “How long can it take for our system to recover after we are notified of a business disruption?”
