NAS traffic is routed through your choice of a load balancer or an enhanced elastic IP using SoftNAS patent pending Elastic HA technology; that is, NFS, CIFS and iSCSI traffic is routed to a primary SoftNAS controller in one zone, and a secondary controller operates in a different availability zone. NAS clients can be located in any or all availability zones. SoftNAS patent pending SnapReplicate™ performs block replication from the primary controller A to the secondary controller B, keeping it hot with the latest changed data blocks, once per minute. In the event of a failure in AZ1 shown on the left below, NAS client traffic automatically fails over to controller B in AZ2 in less than 30 seconds. Upon failover, all NFS, CIFS and iSCSI sessions reconnect with no impact on NAS clients (i.e. no stale file handles or other ill side-effects and no need to restart NAS clients, which continue as if nothing had happened).
