SONAS vs. Isilon Part 6: Remote Replication
In this article we’ll look at the remote replication
implementations of both systems. The comparison is based on SONAS 1.4 and
Isilon OneFS 7.0. Both systems provide asynchronous replication with
configurable RPOs.
Use Cases
Asynchronous replication is typically used for large scale
filesystems for the following use cases:
- Disaster Recovery
- Business continuance
- Disk-to-Disk backup
- Remote disk archive
Although a zero RPO cannot be achieved using asynchronous
replication, it is typically feasible for non-
