Highly Available Storage (HAST)
What Highly Available Storage (HAST) is
Highly Available Storage (HAST) is a free storage replication option for on-premises deployment. It replicates data at the block level and supports both listed replication modes. Replication can run continuously, which suits requirements where ongoing block-level replication is part of the setup.
HAST is listed for Linux. Its scope is focused on replication: it does not include failover orchestration, and multi-site replication is not supported. Those distinctions matter when deciding whether HAST fits a storage setup, since continuous replication does not itself provide orchestration for failover. The service is free and has a free plan. The listed details describe block replication in an on-premises environment, with support for both replication modes and continuous operation.
HAST may fit buyers who need a free, on-premises block replication option for Linux and do not require multi-site replication or failover orchestration. Its defined scope helps clarify whether its replication capabilities match the needs of a particular deployment.
