@LaMerk would there be a negative to using it in other circumstances? Or just a lack of benefits? I guess the needed question would be.. what factors would make you avoid LSFS given its benefits?

@TheDeepStorage said in Starwind AMA Ask Me Anything April 26 10am - 12pm EST:
-Our own asynchronous replication, which allows to do block level replication to the cloud.
Is this what we would normally look at for an off-site DR solution? What would be the "go to" for that?
Let's say I have a two node Starwind HC setup at my office. And I want a DR site, would I do a single node at a colo or a second office and use the asynchronous replication feature to get the data to it? What does that solution look like?

Honestly in any environment faster that the ones I mentioned the lack of benefits would already be a negative. Considering the skyrocketing of RAM pricing right now, devoting some of it for LSFS with no obvious benefits would be a strong factor for me not to use it in those environments.

How much RAM utilization do we expect to see with LSFS?

Typo, we meant Flash.

It sounds, like you might start architecting StarWind deployments. That's exactly what we would suggest. Just add a node at a remote location and set it up as an asynchronous replication partner. Schedule the snapshots and your DR environment is good to go.

Thanks -
Anyone have any other questions for the @StarWind_Software guys? They are always here, but the AMA is officially winding down. So any last questions while everyone is at their keyboards together.. this is the time.
-
Oh and by the way, we will be hanging out on Mangolassi even after the AMA, so if you have any late questions afterwards, feel free to tag us.

Thanks for running the AMA guys! Lots of good info here. And awesome that we have the new Linux VSA appliances to be playing with.

I think we can say THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Definitely, thanks everyone! Very informative.

Thank you guys for attending!

Thank you for all the questions, we've had a great time (and we hope you did as well!). Also, I will abuse the situation to advertise @ABykovskyi and his webinar about the Linux VSA that will be happening tomorrow: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/dedicated-live-demo-session
