Replicates data securely over unlimited distances
One-to-one*, low impact
data replication
After initial synchronization, RepliStor SMB Edition captures just new and byte-level changes to data on the
source computer, and then sends and applies them to the target computer. Replication happens asynchro-
nously—the source computer does not wait for the target computer to apply updates—so applications are
not inhibited.
Round the clock or per schedule Replicate data continuously without interruption. Or run on a set schedule to avoid high periods of server
or network use.
Replicate over LAN or WAN Replicate between two servers in your office or thousands of miles apart. Transfer speeds over your LAN
are practically instantaneous. A managed area network (MAN) is also extremely fast but varies. Have a T1
connection? 50% utilization moves 500MB/hr. Have a T3? 50% utilization moves 15 GB/hr.
High data security Chose among three levels of security. Authenticate computer-to-computer connections. Add a 16-byte
signature to prevent tampering. For highest security, add 128-bit data encryption over the network
(decrypted at target). Files currently encrypted stay encrypted. RepliStor SMB Edition utilizes Windows
NT LAN Manager security and also supports Kerberos.
Optimize network performance Use throttling and data compression to minimize network bandwidth consumption. Keep traffic off your
main network by dedicating a separate network interface card (NIC).
Storage flexibility Replicate to and from internal, direct-attached, NAS, iSCSI, or SAN/Fibre Channel-attached storage.
RepliStor SMB Edition does not require any proprietary hardware.
Easy to manage
Simple installation
and administration
Configure and administer RepliStor SMB Edition on source and target computers from any Windows
computer on your network, including across domains. RepliStor SMB Edition syncs open files, enabling
applications to stay online during set up. The customizable toolbar executes RepliStor SMB Edition
commands with a push of a button.
Traffic light status and
email notification
Get a quick status check through green, yellow, or red traffic lights on RepliStor SMB Edition’s Monitor
Bar. Receive alerts to performance issues by email.
Simulation and reporting Simulate traffic between computers to determine expected usage of network bandwidth. Through intuitive
reports, quickly review volume of data replicated over network and at specified time intervals.
Active Directory RepliStor SMB Edition automatically registers in Windows Active Directory, providing a domain-wide site
list and the ability to set parameters in one place. If a server makes a change to the list, the other sees it.
Windows Performance Monitor Use Windows Performance Monitor to view statistics and observe replication activity in real time, as well
as to monitor and report performance issues automatically.
Process exclusion Set RepliStor SMB Edition to ignore applications that may trigger replication, such as antivirus software or
backup software that sets an archive bit.
SNMP Send message logs as an SNMP trap for view by business management applications.
