Disaster Recovery Scenerio
Coupling Hitless Merge - 2022-7 with redundant media workloads ensures high availability uptime for critical content and provides a new method to create highly available disaster recovery pathways in and between clouds.
There are many configurations that cloudSwXtch can recommend for redundancy, one is depicted below.
Path Redundancy
- The cloudswXtch in Region 1 can recieve the stream from Path A to Region 2.
- The cloudswXtch in Region 2 can recieve the stream from Path B to Region 1.
- If either path were to fail then the stream is still available in both Region 1 and 2 due to the redundancy.
Playout Redundancy
- Each Region has a playout system, "Primary Playout" in Region 1 and "Secondary Playout" in Region 2.
- If the "Primary Playout" should fail, the stream is still playing out in the "Secondary Playout".
- As long as it is just the playout server that fails, then there is still stream redundancy from Path A and Path B.
Region Redundancy
If one region should fail the playout should still succeed in the other Region.
This depiction only shows two stream paths, there could be a third or more. In any of these scenarios the paths could be in differnet regions or different clouds. This is done by using a cloudSwXtch as a Bridge between clouds or from on-prem to cloud.
