help Pure Storage ActiveCluster FAQ

What is Pure Storage ActiveCluster used for?

Pure Storage ActiveCluster is an enterprise storage feature designed for continuous high availability and disaster recovery. It provides synchronous replication between two separate storage arrays to ensure no data is lost during a site failure.

How does ActiveCluster handle a site failure?

In the event of a primary site failure, ActiveCluster automatically and transparently fails over to the secondary site. Because the data is synchronously replicated, connected enterprise applications can resume operations with zero data loss.

Does ActiveCluster require specific hardware from Pure Storage?

Yes, ActiveCluster is a feature native to Pure Storage FlashArray systems. It requires two independent FlashArray units, allowing them to be stretched across physically distinct data centers or rooms.

What type of replication does ActiveCluster provide?

Pure Storage ActiveCluster provides synchronous replication, meaning data is written to both the primary and secondary storage sites simultaneously. This guarantees that both arrays hold an exact, up-to-the-second copy of the data for disaster recovery purposes.
