Customer Training Webinar: VAST Replication & Data Protection
- This webinar will guide participants through the essential aspects of VAST Replication and Data Protection, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their data, ensure business continuity, and implement robust disaster recovery strategies. Key Topics: - Snapshots: Explore point-in-time copies of data for backup and recovery, including indestructible snapshots for ransomware protection. Snapshot capacity consumes space based on data changes. - Native Asynchronous Replication: Learn about configuring replication peers for efficient disaster recovery. Data is sent as changed blocks, compressed but not deduplicated, to other VAST clusters or S3 targets. Protection policies define schedules and captured data paths. - Multi-Site Replication Strategies: Examine one-to-many and many-to-one replication for flexible disaster recovery, including graceful and ungraceful failover. Connections are secured with mTLS encryption. - Global Snapshot Clones: Understand how to clone snapshots to create read/write copies of data from an existing snapshot. These are useful for temporary testing or independent copies, preserving data and permissions but not original view policies or sharing configurations. - Data Protection and DataSpace: Explore and understand the differences and options with synchronous and asynchronous replication, Global Snapshot Clones, and Global Namespace. - Data Protection Steps in VMS: Gain practical knowledge on managing data protection features through the VAST Management System (VMS) GUI, CLI, and API. This includes step-by-step guidance on how to add replication peers, add protection policies, configure protected paths, and demonstrate adding a Global Snapshot Clone. Takeaways: - Master the creation and management of snapshots, including indestructible backups, for comprehensive data recovery and ransomware protection. - Configure native asynchronous replication to VAST clusters and S3 targets for efficient data transfer and robust disaster recovery. Implement multi-site replication strategies and execute graceful and ungraceful failover procedures to maintain data availability and business continuity. - Effectively utilize Global Snapshot Clones to create flexible, read/write copies of your data from existing snapshots for various operational needs. Perform all data protection and replication tasks using the VAST Management System's intuitive GUI and powerful CLI tools.
