Disaster Recovery
Sentinel SAAS on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides several capabilities for high availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR).
The following are the resiliency, HA, and DR features offered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Multiple active-active nodes at each application tier, thereby ensuring server redundancy
Redundancy strategy for database tier
Backup strategy for non-database tiers
Backup requirements for database tier
DR within a single region across availability domains:
Active-active and active-passive components
Regional subnets
Load-balancing
Storage synchronization
Database DR
DR across multiple regions:
Application replication between regions
Storage replication between regions
Cross-region copy to asynchronously copy object storage datasets
Cross-region backup copy for block volumes
Database protection between regions
Sentinel SAAS can be deployed on OCI in a single availability domain, across multiple availability domains, or in multiple regions.
Single availability domain: Use this architecture to ensure high availability by setting up multiple application instances. Use this architecture when you want to ensure that your application is available even when an application instance goes down. The other available application instances in the availability domain continue to process the requests.
Multiple availability domains: Use this architecture to ensure that Sentinel is available even when one availability domain goes down. You can still access the application instances in another availability domain.
Multiple regions: Use this architecture to set up a disaster recovery site for Sentinel in a different region. This architecture is essentially the same as the multiple availability domain architecture, but instead of creating resources in a second availability domain in the same region, you create resources in another region.
Disaster Recovery Architecture
The following diagram is an example of Sentinel installation on OCI. The primary environment is deployed to Availability Domain 1 in Region 1, a secondary site for high availability is deployed to Availability Domain 2 in Region 1 and a disaster recovery environment is deployed in Availability Domain 1 in Region 2.
The primary environment and secondary environment as well as the disaster recovery environment are all active-passive – meaning only the primary site is active for online users and transactions.
