| Replication |
Corporate data protection policies can be extended to replicate critical systems, locally or remotely, for immediate access in the event of a disaster.Snapshot Replication Point-in-time backup snapshots ensure that replicated data is self-consistent, essential for recovery of sophisticated business systems, where even minor inconsistencies can render data unusable. Physical and Virtual MachinesThe replication process can be used to automatically maintain images of physical and virtual servers, greatly reducing the cost of maintaining an effective disaster recovery environment. Bandwidth SavingsReplication solutions normally require additional bandwidth, but here data volumes are greatly reduced by deduplication, so moving information between locations is normally achieved cost effectively using existing network infrastructure, involving no capital expenditure or operational resource. Automatic Restore TestingReplication of data provides continual testing to prove that backup data is valid and can be restored, with automatic notification of any issues. This saves hours of repetitive routine testing, reducing the administration overhead. "There are clear benefits in managing both backup and replication processes with the same solution, simplifying administration and reducing support costs." |
