Remote replication is an essential part of data protection, providing protection in case of primary site failure.

Infortrend's Remote Replication provides a continuous, non-disruptive, host independent remote data replication solutions for disaster recovery, data backup or migration over a long distance. Users concerned about budget, performance impact and data availability can flexibly choose to deploy synchronous or asynchronous replication.

  • Overview
  • Benefits

For companies of all sizes, downtime poses challenges to business continuity. Each hour of downtime can cost millions of dollars and prolonged downtime can even lead to end of business. Given time and efforts, normal business operations can be restored, but a damaged reputation may never be re-consolidated.

Infortrend's Remote Replication leverages the power of storage systems to copy data between storage pools in IP or FC SAN at different sites. Users can flexibly choose to deploy synchronous or asynchronous replication. When source data fail due to system malfunction or disasters, users can leverage the disk-based remote copy to restart service in minutes. Later if users would like to make source take back its responsibility, it can be quickly synced with the remote copy for only differentials.

To further ensure the integrity of the remote data, Infortrend's Remote Replication allows users to protect the remote copy with snapshot technology. Granular snapshot images can help restore the corrupt remote copy in seconds when it is required to resume business service.

The Differences Infortrend's Remote Replication Makes:

IT Problems With Infortrend Remote Replication
Suffer from downtime and data loss by system failure and disasters Restore production in minutes after system failure and disasters
Spend a lot of time restarting service when source fails and the remote copy is also corrupt Use snapshots to quickly restore corrupt remote data and make it available for applications
Spend a lot of time making a new data copy at the main production site after disasters Restore source integrity in a short time by syncing it with remote data for only differentials
Compromise on data protection due to budget concerns Achieve robust data protection at affordable costs

Infortrend Remote Replication can bring you:

Minimized Unplanned Downtime

Reduce the  time to recovery after the system fails or disaster strikes. Intact data copies at remote sites can be immediately used to support applications.

Flexible Data Copy Deployment

Provide synchronous and asynchronous options for IP and FC SAN. Users can split and re-sync the mirroring between source and copy as needed and take snapshots for remote data to enhance protection.

Affordable Data Protection

Deliver affordable enterprise-class protection. Companies with tight budgets do not need to compromise on data protection.
