ClusterLion for PowerStore – Seamless File Storage Failover and High Availability, Simplified.

Challenges

  • PowerStore currently provides an option to automatically fail over block storage during network or power issues, but this capability does not extend to file storage by default, requiring manual intervention for NAS (Network Attached Storage) failover.
  • Automatic NAS failover is not feasible for PowerStore outside regular working hours, such as during nights or weekends, making it dependent on human interaction, which can delay response times in critical situations.
  • Managing multiple NAS instances individually, up to a capacity of 250 instances, can be time-consuming and complex, adding operational overhead and increasing the risk of error.

ClusterLion for PowerStore Solution

  • ClusterLion for PowerStore enables seamless failover of NAS instances in case of network or power issues, ensuring that file storage remains available without manual intervention, even outside regular business hours.
  • Provides pre- and post-failover integration into systems like VMware, automating complex configurations and reducing dependency on manual setups, enabling a streamlined transition to secondary resources.
  • Simplifies the management of multiple NAS instances, allowing administrators to plan and execute failovers and maintenance with ease, ensuring consistent availability and improving overall operational efficiency.
How ClusterLion for PowerStore Works

Functionality

In the event of a failure, ClusterLion initiates an automatic failover of the impacted NAS instance to a secondary PowerStore system. It’s designed to keep all other services operational during this failover process, so there’s no interruption to your storage infrastructure.
