Learn about advanced data protection
You can subscribe to the advanced data protection add-on service as a part of your Keystone STaaS subscription. This add-on service leverages NetApp MetroCluster technology to ensure efficient data protection of your mission-critical workloads at a recovery point objective (RPO) of 0.
Keystone STaaS standard services for file and block storage offer default data protection services by leveraging NetApp technologies, such as SnapMirror, SnapVault, and Snapshot. |
For information about the standard and cloud service, see Keystone STaaS services.
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 avail 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
service level is assigned to your subscription.
