I am a solution architect working on the global infrastructure at large 
client.  I am trying to make sure everything is tuned properly, etc… That 
said, I am actually looking to inject some new innovation into their jBASE 
stack using a product called NetApp SnapCreator which can interface with 
about anything.  I spent roughly 5 years at NetApp before starting a new 
journey here.  We used this product at another customer to successfully 
eliminate IBM FlashCopy and provide a true devops environment.  (That 
environment was SAP based on IBM AIX and DB2)  What it does is simply call 
the application backup process to the point where it quiesces everything 
and then takes a storage snapshot… Then the process kicks off an 
application consistent replica to another site or location.

 

>From there we can mount up a storage snap derived readable copy in a 
“bubble” and have everything clean and application consistent… At this 
point we can deploy several dev copies from the result *OR* in this case we 
would be enabling backups to be taken as little as every 15 minutes without 
any performance issues.  Also, we would then use the traditional golden 
method of taking the jBASE backups (streaming) to an alternate device.  
However, at this point the backup would be occurring on the DR array and 
NOT the production array thus eliminating all backup windows.

 

This could be a reusable community plugin that could work both in a private 
datacenter and even in the public cloud.  Currently this customer is 
running on an older version of everything (to my knowledge) and it sits on 
Red Hat 5.2… I would love some insight from someone who is more familiar 
with the jBASE product than me.  I'm sure this will be easy, repeatable and 
shareable once completed.  


Thanks,


Ben Compton
