Replication & Failover 

 

Active/active replication fully utilizes all nodes; 

 

No data is lost during outages, because of synchronous replication; 

 

Automated failover delivers continuous service availability and eliminates the need for 
manual, error-prone user intervention; 

 

Failover is transparent to client-side applications and requires no additional overhead;

 

Reduces system downtime by more than 90% when combined with Persistent Caching and 
SSD RAID.

Backup & Restore

 

Full and incremental backups can be scheduled to the onboard HDDs; 

 

Enables the cache data to be restored to a previous state in the event of application-driven 
data corruption, user error, or other data loss. 

Summary 

In conclusion, Membrain delivers an entirely new level of enterprise caching and key-value store 
capability relative to traditional Memcached and other NoSQL alternatives. Membrain provides: 

 

Vastly Higher Per Node Capacity and Throughput:

 Eight times the capacity and throughput 

of traditional Memcached servers;

 

Significantly Lower TCO:

 Server capex and opex reductions cut TCO by more than 50% 

before factoring in the value of much less downtime and administration overhead;

 

Quick Deployment:

 Easy plug-and-play installation and configuration;

 

Seamless Operation:

 100% compatible with existing client applications and management 

tools;

 

Highest Reliability:

 Delivers enterprise-class reliability with innovative persistence, replica-

tion, and recovery software;

 

Easy Management:

 Simple, yet powerful centralized management and reporting with 

integrated CLI and GUI;

 

More Revenue:

 Powers new revenue-producing applications enabled by fast access to 

terabyte-scale data;

 

World-Class Support:

 SanDisk provides 24/7/365, single-point-of-contact, Membrain service 

and support.

 

Support on popular OS platforms:

 RHEL 5.4, 5.5, 6.2 and CentOS 5.4, 5.5, 6.2
