[. . . ] AssuredRemote TM Enabling complete, affordable, Data Protection solutions Affordable, Complete Remote Replication Solution for the Small to Mid-sized Business Revolutionary Simplicity, Availability and Value AssuredRemote TM is a key component of the R/Evolution 3000 Family Architecture, enabling IT professionals to solve many of today's data protection challenges by building complete solutions for business continuance, disaster recovery and regulatory compliance. [. . . ] Using point-in-time snapshot technology AssuredRemote only captures changed data thereby limiting the amount of data copied across to the remote site. Unlike other replication technologies the AssuredRemote implementation is both easy and fast, and it also reduces the size of snapshots by storing only a single instance of changed blocks. This method minimizes the amount of data copied across data lines leading to less congestion on communication links. To further lessen the burden on external links, storage administrators can perform the first www. dothill. com A s s u r e d R e m o t e TM initial copy locally and move the disks to the remote site thereby avoiding the cost and time of the first full data copy. Innovative Design Features of the 3000 Arrays with AssuredRemote: The choice of either Ethernet or Fiber Channel host connectivity Simple, agent-less approach to remote site disaster recovery Mix drive types between the primary and remote sites ­ i. e. SAS and SATA Intermix chassis types among sites ­ 2u24 vs. 2u12 Ethernet ports can be used for both local and replication traffic Replication snapshots can be used for both local and remote recovery Remote site can be `stood up' for a period then `failed back' to the primary site to resume normal operations Bi-directional replication allows each array to act as both a primary and a remote site AssuredRemote - Providing a Foundation for Enterprise Business Continuity The appropriate policies and procedures required to achieve optimum business continuity will be unique to each organization. Determining factors include the extent of real-time need for access to data and the business value of data over time from its initial point of creation. There are two fundamental aspects associated with business continuity planning; setting recovery point objectives (RPO) determines the frequency with which snapshots of business critical data need to be taken for rollback to a known point in time, and the recovery time objective (RTO), which is the maximum time window available to complete restoration of business critical data in order to maintain expected transactional service levels.
