Real-Time Replication • Replication Engine • No backup window • Continuous replication transmits changes as they occur rather than requiring downtime to scan for changes • Less data loss (superior RPO) • The faster changes are transmitted off the source, the less risk there is of data loss • WAN efficient • Byte-level replication sends less than block-level • Configurable compression levels • Intelligent buffering and resynchronization for high-latency and network outage scenarios Remote Office Consolidation Disaster Recovery Remote Availability Remote Office Headquarters DRLocation
Summary • Be Cost-Effective • DR solutions exist for all organizations, large & small • Be Smart • Get the data out of the building! • Be Resourceful • Use a DR solution that protects a wide range of applications • Be Consistent • HA & DR should be part of the same solution to ensure business continuity • Be Proactive • Don’t wait for the disaster, prepare for it.
