and maintenance of an IT infrastructure that ensures that your business is fully
protected and always operational.
BC/DR has traditionally been necessary, but too complex and expensive
Disaster recovery beyond backup was not affordable for most organizations when Fibre
Channel SANs were the only option. Complex configurations including communication
network extension equipment, add-on software, and staff training has been prohibitively
expensive. Recent compliance regulations (e.g., HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and SEC rules)
have pressured organizations of all sizes to make more data quickly recoverable
for longer periods of time; company files, databases, and e-mail must be restorable
for years. And with the proliferation of 24X7 business operations, companies of
all sizes are recognizing the requirement to have a complete business continuity
and disaster recovery environment to ensure that their IT operations are completely
protected against natural and unnatural disasters and outages.
Every EqualLogic SAN includes replication
With storage consolidated on EqualLogic PS Series arrays, business continuity and
disaster recovery is now affordable, fast, and simple. EqualLogic iSCSI SANs leverage
your existing IP based LAN and WAN networking assets and competencies without requiring
any add-on software or costly staff training. The PS Series’ Auto-Replication capability,
standard in each array, provides point-in-time periodic replication to multiple
remote sites. This method, easy to set up and operate, delivers multiple restore
points and application-consistent copies that can be restored in minutes.
Benefits of Auto-Replication for BC/DR:
- Affordable, easy to use and deploy
- Multiple application-consistent restore points
- Recovery in minutes
- Lower ongoing costs
EqualLogic works collaboratively and is certified with industry leading technology
partners for enhanced disaster recovery, backup and restore solutions.
