Data Replication

KaleidoNet® Replication Servers’ core package, Mirror File System (MFS), is a kernel loadable module with a standard VFS interface and no change to UFS and NFS. MFS’s replication is effectively done by replicating only those changed portion of a file (no metadata). MFS is transparent to users, to applications, to existing file structures, and to underlying file systems. MFS mount mechanism allows you to mount one directory to two or more file systems. MFS replication can be in one-to-many or many-to-one fashion. MFS replication can also be done between two or more nodes that with same or different operating systems.

File Backup

KaleidoNet® Replication Servers can do a real-time backup while keeping both/multiple copies live for local process. Every file’s write operation is checked by file system for file consistency and integrity. MFS can backup any directory to a server.

Disaster Recovery (DR)

KaleidoNet® Replication Servers does disaster recovery by duplicating data locally (through RAID controller) and replicating an identical copy to a remote location that can be in long distance as long as NFS allows.

High Availability (HA)

KaleidoNet® Replication Servers is configured in a way that it will be immediate up and running whenever failover or failback occurs. No need to do manual fsck and mount operation.

Areca® RAID controller

Unparalleled performance (Intel high performance I/O processor); Unsurpassed data availability (RAID 0, 1, 1E , 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, 60 or JBOD); Maximum interoperability; Easy RAID management (McBIOS, Browser style GUI, CLI); and SAS for maximum Scalability  (up to 128 SAS/SATA II disks with SAS expanders).
