Abstract
A processing platform implemented using one or more processing devices comprises a data fabric layer and a storage infrastructure layer underlying the data fabric layer. The data fabric layer comprises at least one database application having a plurality of nodes. The storage infrastructure layer comprises a plurality of storage servers and is configured to implement one or more virtual storage volumes for each of the nodes of the database application of the data fabric layer using the storage servers. In some embodiments, responsive to detection of a failure of a given one of the nodes of the database application, the one or more virtual storage volumes associated with the given node are utilized to facilitate instantiation of a replacement node for the given node. For example, a virtual storage volume may be unmounted from the given node and attached to the replacement node.
