Universal Replicator
Universal Replicator provides asynchronous, real-time replication of data from one storage system to another over any distance to satisfy the most demanding business continuity and disaster recovery requirements. While conventional replication solutions push updates from the primary storage system to a remote location, Universal Replicator at the remote site pulls changes from journal volumes maintained by the storage system at the primary site. This approach offloads replication overhead from the primary storage system and dramatically reduces the impact of replication on the business application. Transmitted record sets include a sequence number, enabling the replication engine to verify receipt of all records at the remote site and to sequence writes in the correct order for storage replication.
Universal Replicator works in global-active device environments to extend high availability and business continuity capabilities across any geographic distance. Universal Replicator also supports availability of up-to-date copies of data in dispersed locations by leveraging TrueCopy® synchronous replication in multi-data-center environments.
