Pure Storage ActiveCluster Lab

Welcome to Pure's ActiveCluster synchronous data storage replication technology. This software stack from Pure Storage enables business critical applications and the machines hosting them the highest possible resiliency to ensure that business operations do not stop in the case of a disaster — either localized or site-wide. Pure Storage helps these scenarios by ensuring the data is always on and always available to the servers requesting the I/O. Achieve zero RPO and zero RTO with ActiveCluster in Purity OS.

In this lab users will gain a general understanding of Pure Storage's ActiveCluster feature by performing the following activities: 

• Initial setup of the ActiveCluster and Pod creation on two FlashArrays
• ESXi host integration and Datastore creation
• Run through common Failure scenarios to see how ActiveCluster performs

• Two Pure Storage Arrays running 6.6.x
• Virtual Pure1 Mediator OVA Instance
• Two ESXi Servers
• vCenter
• Virtual Networking
