Replication Benefits

Protect against local and regional site disruptions– Continuous data availability ensures operational availability

– Remote recovery sites ensure protection against disaster

– Meet regulatory requirements

– Support multiple service levels with tiered storage

Provide near-instant recovery from local or remote copies of data


copies of data

Migrate, consolidate, or distribute data across heterogeneous storage platforms

– Data center consolidations

– Technology refreshes

Enable non-stop operations– Application restart across volumes or arrays

– Application recovery across sites

Can independently recover from local site (any point in time) and remote site(significant point in time)

– Local copy for operational recovery with single write recovery point objective (RPO) to any point in time
