Vicom SAN Mirroring provides flexible, "any-to-any"
synchronous mirroring between any number of systems and any
pool of storage resources. With SAN Mirroring, storage |
resources
can be configured for mirrored data protection, instantaneous
failover, and instantaneous fail-back ---for any number of
systems, regardless of manufacturer or operating system version.
With SAN Mirroring, you can: |
|
| • |
Mirror SAN-to-SAN. Replicate
data and provide disaster recovery
between two remote SANs |
| • |
Mirror Like-to-Unlike Systems.
Mirror data among enterprise or mid-range storage systems
from different vendors |
| • |
Mirror Between Storage Tiers. Mirror data
from Tier 1 storage to an inexpensive Tier 3 array. Vicom SAN
Mirroring enables you to meet your requirements simply
from a single point of management and control. |
Like all Vicom applications,
management is simple: all services are rendered as a fabric-based
service, eliminating the need for host-based software, agents and
drivers. Data is mirrored synchronously whether local or remote,
ensuring you up-to-the transaction data protection. Moreover, because
the mirroring services are provided transparently to all connected
systems, failover can be performed instantaneously, without complex
host-storage interactions and associated latencies. Failover, mirror
rebuild, and fail-back are managed as background processes, providing
a unique and high level of system availability.
With Vicom SAN Mirroring, even large-scale resources like data center
SANs can be failed over and failed back instantaneously. Providing
scalable, enterprise-level performance and high-availability are
inherent to the Vicom appliance clustered architecture. Each appliance
connects with up to seven other appliances, providing modularly
scalable, wire-speed performance, no single point of failure, and
automatic load balancing among connected appliances. |
