The bidirectional HP P2000 Array solution addresses the growing need among businesses to
ensure continuous availability of applications that are critical to daily business operations. HP
StorageWorks P2000 enables two sites in a remote replication connection to use each other as a
destination to maintain replicated copies of online data. This maximizes resource utilization while
enabling business continuance, even in the event of disaster.
Disaster Tolerance
The P2000 G3 family utilized snapshot data online and in real time to a remote P2000 G3 through
a local or extended storage area network (SAN). Additionally, data replication can be bidirectional,
meaning that a storage array can be both a source and a destination. A particular LUN can be
replicated in only one direction between the two storage arrays. Write I/O data sent to the source
is replicated by HP P2000 Array to the destination. A properly configured, HP P2000 G3 array is a
replication solution that guarantees data integrity in the event of a storage system or site failure.
Normalization (first initial copy)
When a DR site is initially created a normalization or initial copy of the data from the source
volume to the target volume must occur. The P2000 G3 array allows this first copy to take place
locally. After completion the disks can me manually moved to the remote location. Subsequent
changes will only remotely copy the changed blocks.
SAN Extensions
HP P2000 G3 Array provides the capability to replicate data over direct Fibre Channel. The
distances supported over dark fiber are determined by the speed of the dark fiber connection and
the technology used to communicate over the dark fiber.

Storage Mirroring
Natural and man-made disasters can occur when you least expect it - serving as a reminder that
in less than a moment's notice, volumes of data loss can occur. To prevent data loss from failure,
error, or disaster, HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Software provides replication and recovery
of valuable Windows and Linux data to another server. Proactive replication is a key strategy
coupled with tape backup and snapshot technology for up-to-the-second data protection. Having
replicated data co-located enables customers to recover their static and transactional data in
seconds to minutes.
Patented replication and failover technology continuously captures byte-level data changes as
they occur in your production environment and replicates those changes to one or more servers in
any location without geographic limitations. By replicating only the bytes that change, Storage
Mirroring Software uses the absolute minimum bandwidth required to replicate customer data. The
software does not require special hardware to run and utilizes existing LAN or WAN infrastructure
-saving time, additional investment, and maintenance. Storage Mirroring software is storage
independent and will support any DAS, NAS, and SAN storage device. Additional flexibility is
achieved with Windows and Linux operating system support. Storage Mirroring works on Windows
Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Storage Server, 64-bit Windows, Windows on
Itanium and Red Hat Linux. The platform flexibility, resource optimization, and application-specific
protection enable customers to solidify their data and disaster protection strategies.
