Product Features Storage based asynchronous snapshot replication
Initial copy of data can be performed locally, reducing burden on wide area networks
Support of both Ethernet and Fiber Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the
application environments.
Snapshot based replication technology means only changed data will be replicated to
alternate site
Many to 1 replication (up to 4 nodes) - primary use case is to replicate from "many" branch
offices to the home office for the purpose of backing up data from the branches
Single controller to single controller replication
Mixed controller replication - replication between P2000 G3 Fibre Channel and P2000 G3
FC/iSCSI Combo arrays
Advanced scheduler provides several options to IT administrators for business continuance
Flexible architecture allows remote replication between P2000 G3 Fibre Channel and/or
P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI Combo arrays. You can also join dissimilar controllers; for instance a
Combo controller can snap remotely to a 1 or 10 GbE iSCSI array. Protects existing
investments and enhances business continuity planning objectives.
Replication Wizard simplifies the task of setting up and establishing replication pairs from
one unified, easy to use GUI.
Snapshot based replication enables both local and remote recovery depending on the need.
Snapshot replication isolates problems to a specific point in time which can be selected by
the administrator. Additionally snapshot replication supports longer distance replication.
Multiple relationships provide greater storage flexibility and utilization.
Bundled 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy integration provides better efficiencies by
combining the management and array technologies to create local copies.
Fast application recovery with minimal or no transaction loss
Creation of disaster tolerant copies of your critical business data
No-single-point-of-failure solution to increase the availability of your customers data
Customer Benefits Disaster Recovery
Replication technology has typically been used to address disaster recovery issues. Disaster
recovery is still the driving business case behind replication. Remote replication can be
implemented from the production site to one or more remote sites across a campus, across town,
across a state or across the country. When a disaster strikes the primary location, the applications
can be brought up at the remote site and continue processing against the replicated copies. When
