Keystone advanced data protection service can synchronously mirror data to a secondary site. In case of a disaster at the primary site, the secondary site can take over, without any loss of data. This feature leverages the MetroCluster configuration between two sites to enable data protection. You can use the advanced data protection add-on services for only your file and block storage services. As a part of this add-on service, the Advanced Data-Protect performance service level is assigned to your subscription.
For information about how to view the consumption in a MetroCluster configuration, see Reference charts for advanced data protection.
