Application Recovery Across Storage Systems

Abstract:

A system and methods for application recovery across storage systems. In some examples, the method includes replicating, from a source storage system to a target storage system, a volume including an application configuration for an application utilizing the volume, wherein the application is executing within a source application host; detecting that the application executed in the source application host is unavailable; retrieving, from the volume on the target storage system, the application configuration for the application; and instantiating the application on a target application host using the application configuration retrieved from the volume on the target storage system, wherein the application on the target application host is configured to direct data requests to the volume on the target storage system.
