DRBD

LINBIT keeps Linux systems up and running. As the developers of DRBD® software (http://docs.linbit.com/ ), LINBIT has led the way in high availability since 2001. DRBD has been included in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.33 (2009), has been deployed on all major Linux distributions and is fully compatible with systems, applications, devices and services. LINBIT’s DRBD® software seamlessly replicates data between servers, eliminating “single points of failure” within your IT infrastructure, no matter which applications are running on top.

Today, DRBD is in use by thousands of companies worldwide who trust LINBIT when it comes to the safety and security of their data. To top it off, comparison after comparison DRBD beats the competition in ROI and TCO analysis.

And DRBD is the basis for further applications: With LINBIT SDS; LINBIT creates a high performing Software-Defined Storage (SDS) solution using Linux OS for shared block storage which integrates with the relevant cloud and virtualization systems. With the LINBIT SDS solution, common-off-the-shelf hardware is turned into blazingly fast, reliable block storage. DRBD is integrated into OpenStack via a Cinder Driver and the Nova-Driver which enable OpenStack users to base their clouds on LINBIT SDS.
