How do hybrid storage systems handle data redundancy and disaster recovery?

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m currently researching hybrid storage systems and their capabilities, particularly in terms of data redundancy and disaster recovery. Could someone please shed light on how hybrid storage systems typically handle these aspects?
Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Thomas Edision

In short, these DO NOT!

It’s very simple. “We only lose what we don’t backup.”

The new researcher might think there is some magic storage that will let them avoid the usual backups.
If you don’t backup then it was your choice to lose data.

The link you provided (and that I deleted as spam) says it “is designed to provide performance, simplicity, capacity, security, and high availability”.
Nothing about data redundancy and disaster recovery. So for the moment I would say they typically don’t.

Hybrid storage systems handle data redundancy and disaster recovery by combining on-premises storage with cloud-based solutions. They typically employ techniques like RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) for local data redundancy, ensuring data is mirrored or distributed across multiple disks to prevent data loss. For disaster recovery, hybrid systems often use cloud backups and replication, where data is regularly synchronized and stored in off-site cloud environments. In the event of a disaster or hardware failure, data can be quickly restored from the cloud, providing a seamless recovery process while minimizing downtime. This combination ensures both high availability and protection against data loss.

In the original version of this thread the first post had a reference to hybrid hard drives, that automatically store much used files in the SSD part and less used and bigger files in the HDD part.
What you describe here is something completely different.

I’m closing this thread now for being unclear.
