How Ksolves Helped In Implementing a Disaster Recovery Cluster In Apache Cassandra
Our client is a prominent software development company in India that manages critical government projects. Due to customer demands, there is a pressing need to establish a disaster recovery passive data center within their Cassandra cluster. This initiative not only addresses the project’s specific requirements but also harnesses the potential of its multiple data centers to cater to the varying needs and objectives.
The client encountered several critical challenges that needed to be addressed to ensure their infrastructure's efficiency, reliability, and resilience. Key challenges include:
- The client requires a two-datacenter Cassandra cluster management setup, with one datacenter designated as "active" to handle application requests and the other as "passive" for disaster recovery purposes, located in a separate physical location. The customer refers to the active data center as "DC" and the passive one as "DR."
- They aim to maintain constant synchronization between the primary data center (DC) and the disaster recovery (DR) site. However, the primary data center is responsible for serving requests. Due to its distinct physical location, the disaster recovery site is intended for use exclusively during a disaster.
Our expert team came up with the following solutions for the challenges faced by our client:
- We assisted in configuring the primary data center (DC) and disaster recovery (DR) according to their specific needs.
- Continuous synchronization is maintained between the DC and DR, ensuring data consistency.
- The application is configured to perform read and write operations exclusively on the primary DC, with seamless automatic synchronization at the DR site.
- Our solution meets the client's requirement for a robust and synchronized DC-DR setup, providing peace of mind during unexpected events or disasters.
Our solution effectively leveraged Apache Cassandra’s capabilities to establish a highly reliable multi-datacenter setup. By simplifying the configuration of multi-datacenter clusters, we ensured seamless data replication and real-time synchronization between the primary and disaster recovery sites. As a result, our client now benefits from a secure, scalable, and disaster-resilient data infrastructure, ensuring continuous business operations even during unexpected failures.
