What is NetApp MetroCluster?
NetApp MetroCluster software is a solution that combines array-based clustering with synchronous
replication to deliver continuous availability and zero data loss at the lowest cost. The vendor states administration of the array-based cluster is simpler because the dependencies and complexity normally associated with hostbased clustering are eliminated. MetroCluster immediately duplicates mission-critical data on a transaction-by-transaction basis, providing uninterrupted access to applications and data. MetroCluster works with a host environment to provide continuous data availability while eliminating the need to create and maintain complicated failover scripts.

Very impressed with Netapp Metrocluster
[NetApp] MetroCluster is being used by the bank to service critical NFS applications which require zero downtime. It was purchased and is being used by one LOB which own these set of critical applications. The business problem it addresses is that is allows you to move the data replication layer away from multiple server host operating systems to a centralized NetApp [MetroCluster].
- Data deduplication, compression, and compaction provide great savings compared to traditional host based storage
- Multiprotocol support (NAS and SAN) provide great flexibility
- Ability to easily run your workloads from either data center with minimal effort and no disruption was the key selling point
- I would like to see more highly intelligent monitoring that can help determine where latency is coming from. Eg. Host, Array, Network or Fabric issues
- By moving critical application data away from older based technology such as host based mirroring and to a centralized array based replication, the complexity of managing data from multiple source and destination servers has been removed.
- The number of incidents compared to our previous legacy configuration is huge. Data uptime has been 100% available since the migration to NetApp MetroCluster.
Have not used or evaluated any other NAS synchronous products.
