Case Study: University of Bonn Computer Center achieves uninterrupted operations with ProLion ClusterLion

ClusterLion Saves the Day at the University of Bonn Computer Center

The University of Bonn Computer Center faced a challenge where a technical failure could cause a critical storage system outage. Their NetApp MetroCluster environment was at risk of a split-brain scenario during a restart, which could lead to significant downtime. ProLion's ClusterLion solution was implemented to prevent this by ensuring an automatic and dependable failover.

ProLion's ClusterLion solution automatically initiated a failover to a second data center within seconds of a power outage caused by an AC unit failure. This prevented any service interruption, data loss, and extensive manual remediation work for the storage team. The University of Bonn credited ProLion with preventing downtime and saving a significant amount of working hours.
