Linbit

LINBIT is a software company that specializes in high-availability and disaster recovery solutions for mission-critical applications and data. The company was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Vienna, Austria. LINBIT's primary product is DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device), an open-source software that provides synchronous data replication for Linux-based systems.

DRBD is a block-level replication technology that allows for real-time data replication between two or more servers. It ensures that data changes made on one server are immediately replicated to other servers, creating highly available and fault-tolerant systems. DRBD is widely used in environments where continuous data availability and reliability are crucial, such as enterprise applications, databases, virtualization platforms, cloud infrastructure, and storage clusters.

LINBIT offers additional products and solutions that complement DRBD and enhance the overall high-availability and disaster recovery capabilities. These include:

1. LINBIT SDS: LINBIT SDS (Software-Defined Storage) is a software-defined storage solution that combines DRBD with additional features such as a distributed block storage system, automated storage management, and integration with various storage technologies.

2. LINSTOR: LINSTOR is an open-source management tool developed by LINBIT that simplifies the administration of DRBD-based storage clusters. It provides a centralized interface to manage DRBD resources, automate the configuration process, and streamline the deployment and management of high-availability storage.

3. DRBD Proxy: DRBD Proxy is a component offered by LINBIT that enhances data replication capabilities over long distances or unreliable networks. It optimizes network traffic and provides secure data transmission between geographically dispersed systems.

LINBIT's solutions are known for their scalability, performance, and reliability. They are designed to ensure data integrity and minimize downtime in the event of failures or disasters. LINBIT's customer base includes a wide range of industries and organizations, including enterprises, cloud service providers, hosting companies, educational institutions, and government agencies.

In addition to their software products, LINBIT provides professional services, including consulting, training, and support, to help organizations implement and maintain high-availability and disaster recovery solutions based on their technologies.
