Technology >> Replication
Permabit Enterprise Archive's replication is designed
to address operational and compliance requirements for the
replication of information to one or more remote sites. A
dedicated access node leverages SDR technologies to ensure
that replication is both fast and efficient.
Permabit's built-in replication offers a wide range of
flexibility. Each volume on a Permabit Enterprise Archive
can be replicated to any other remote site. This enables
a variety of replication configurations. At its simplest,
an enterprise can have a single live site, and a single
disaster recovery site. All data is available in a
read-only form at the DR site, and can be promoted to
being live with a single mouse click.
A larger business with two active sites can have each
site use the other as a disaster recovery standby,
eliminating the requirement for a dedicated DR
system.
An enterprise with many remote offices can deploy a
single, consolidated DR site to which all other systems
can replicate. Permabit's Scalable Data
ReductionTM identifies duplicate
data from multiple sites, greatly reducing the storage
requirements at the central DR facility.
Replication and Scalable Data Reduction
Through the combination of SDR compression and
deduplication, Permabit's systems enable enterprises to
cost-effectively accelerate WAN replication. When a
replication event occurs, only the compressed data that
has not been previously replicated is written to the
remote system. In a many-to-one scenario, if the same
data is replicated from multiple systems, that data will
only be written once to the central replica site. For
large businesses with multiple branches, this can result
in substantial additional performance benefits over
traditional WAN acceleration schemes. In addition,
Permabit replication provides advanced levels of data
protection to ensure that archive data is always
accurate and recoverable.
