In summary Era brings one-click simplicity and invisible operations to database provisioning and life-cycle management. The following picture describes the Era logical overview
One discussion that comes up during almost every Era design and or proof of concept (POC) conversation is how to protect (backup) the data that resides within the databases. Based on this i have put together a document, Era Database Data Protection, that describes the options you got including the following options:
- Era with One Nutanix Cluster
- Era with Multiple Nutanix Clusters
- Era with One Nutanix Cluster and External Backup and Restore
- Era with Multiple Nutanix Clusters and External Backup and Restore
- External Backup and Restore
The below figure presents a logical overview of option 2.
The document also contains a comparison between the five options. Download your copy of the Era Database Protection Document here
