Linux Data Replication

Continuous Linux data replication is available today!

If data is the lifeblood of your organization, then you know protecting that asset is the key to your continued success. No matter how fault tolerant your servers and storage subsystems may be, if you only have a single copy of the most current data, you are at risk of data loss. Catastrophic failures of your storage subsystem due to hardware failure or natural disasters are only a single cause of data loss. Corruption due to hardware malfunction or user error is a more likely cause of data loss.

Backup tapes can only take you so far and native Linux data replication tools are generally application specific, limited in scope and are hard to manage. SteelEye Data Replication overcomes these limitations by providing the 3 R's of data protection: Replicate, Rewind and Recover.

Linux Data Replication Challenges

Advantages of SteelEye Linux Data Replication

Ensuring your data is available 24x7x365 regardless of the type of failure: storage subsystem, user error, or site loss

Replication over any distance

Data Rewind provides continuous data protection (CDP

Recover data to any point in time

Eliminates chance of data loss due to corruption

Overcoming bandwidth and latency limitations associated with WAN replication

Choose between synchronous or asynchronous replication, depending upon your data protection requirements

Does not require the introduction of a new file system - utilizes standard Linux file systems

Optimized for WAN replication

9 levels of compression

Bandwidth throttling

Protection of data across virtual, physical or mixed environments

Advanced virutal machine (VM) support for Linux VMs running on VMware and other virtualization solutions

Replicate data while running within the guest VMs

Make use of virtualization technology such as VMware and other virtualization solutions

Protecting data using your existing hardware and infrastructure

Cost-effective

Does not require the introduction of a new file system - utilizes standard Linux file systems

Leverage existing IP networks

Utilize existing storage

Protection for all data - not just specific applications

Provides continuous, real-time, host-based, block-level replication of data insuring multiple copies of your data is available at all times
