Abstract
A data storage method and system comprising: at least two servers that comprise a storage volume and configured to run an operating system designated to host data accessible and exposable over a data plane (DP) network, at least one orchestrator configured to interact with each of said servers and designated to control a control plane (CP) of said DP network, wherein each server is configured to manage its own DP components, wherein the orchestrator is configured to utilize the CP in order to take at least one consistency group snapshot, and further configured to manage an suspension and resumption in order to provide a consistent snapshotting of the volumes in a particular point in time.

A data storage system, comprising:
- (i) at least two servers that comprise a storage volume and configured to run an operating system designated to host data accessible and exposable over a data plane (DP) network, and
- (ii) at least one orchestrator configured to interact with each of said servers and designated to control a control plane (CP) of said DP network,
- wherein each server is configured to manage its own DP components,
- wherein the orchestrator is configured to utilize the CP in order to take at least one consistency group snapshot, and further configured to manage an IO suspension and resumption in order to provide a consistent snapshotting of the volumes in a particular point in time.
A method for orchestrating and storing data, comprising the steps of:
- (i) enabling at least two servers that comprise a storage volume and configured to run an operating system to host data accessible and exposable over a data plane (DP) network, and
- (ii) enabling at least one orchestrator to interact with each of said servers to control a control plane (CP) of said DP network,
- wherein each server is configured to manage its own DP components,
- wherein the orchestrator is configured to utilize the CP in order to take at least one consistency group snapshot, and further configured to manage an IO suspension and resumption in order to provide a consistent snapshotting of the volumes in a particular point in time.
