APPLICATION-CONSISTENT DISASTER RECOVERY FOR CONTAINER-BASED APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18433019 titled 'APPLICATION-CONSISTENT DISASTER RECOVERY FOR CONTAINER-BASED APPLICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application provides an efficient structure and methodology for container-based applications in disaster recovery for data in a storage system. It utilizes application consistency groups for replication from the storage system to a disaster recovery system.

  • Application consistency groups are generated containing applications, a disaster recovery plan, and a disaster recovery policy, with each application having a consistency level.
  • The applications in an application consistency group can include stateless applications and stateful applications.
  • Replication of an application consistency group from the system to a disaster recovery storage system is controlled according to the disaster recovery policy, plan, and the consistency levels of the group.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce for ensuring data protection and continuity in case of disasters.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures application consistency during disaster recovery processes. 2. Provides a structured approach for replicating data from a storage system to a disaster recovery system.

Benefits

1. Improved data protection and disaster recovery capabilities. 2. Efficient replication of container-based applications. 3. Simplified management of disaster recovery plans and policies.

Original Abstract Submitted

An efficient structure and methodology for container-based applications are provided for disaster recovery for data in a storage system using application consistency groups for replication from the storage system to a disaster recovery system. Application consistency groups can be generated containing applications, a disaster recovery plan, and a disaster recovery policy, where each application has a consistency level. The applications in an application consistency group can include stateless applications and stateful applications. The replication of an application consistency group from the system to a disaster recovery storage system can be controlled according to the disaster recovery policy, the disaster recovery plan, and the consistency levels of the application consistency group.
