EMC Express Solutions for Business Protection
Keeping your data complete, current, available, and safe
at all times
The Big Picture
• Studies indicate that IT downtime can
cost even a moderate-sized business a
crippling $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 per
minute. Outages can cause your business to suffer hours of data loss and
days to recover. If you protect that data—
beyond traditional nightly backups—you
help ensure that your business is always
available to your customers and your
employees.
• Regulatory compliance adds new urgency
to protection challenges. Like any enterprise, midsize companies and small to
medium businesses (SMBs) must ensure
quick access to key documents required
for internal governance or external regulators. Properly retaining, retrieving, and
recovering electronic documents have
become a critical priority for businesses.
• EMC meets our customers’ information
management needs through complete
storage solutions that address critical
business needs—including consolidation, backup and recovery, archiving, and
business protection. Offered through
EMC’s network of Velocity2 partners, EMC
Express Solutions address key customer
challenges, simplify operations, and provide scalability for future growth.
Business Challenge
Companies today face the growing challenge of protecting rapidly proliferating information
dispersed across remote locations. Traditional data protection processes, however, can
burden businesses with time-consuming nightly backups and never-ending daily
shipments to offsite security centers. What’s more, in today’s compliance-sensitive
environments, businesses need to ensure that their backup solutions provide:
• Up-to-the-minute protection of daily information changes of critical data
• Real-time or near-time copies locally or remotely of critical data
With the volume of business information doubling each year, advanced data replication
software is increasingly important to safeguard corporate data.
Solution Description
EMC® Express Solutions for Business Protection deliver the right replication software for
your unique requirements, providing remote replication capabilities that address the full
range of information protection challenges. These affordable solutions reduce the risk of
data loss and decrease data recovery time by automating and simplifying information
replication and recovery.
These solutions offer:
• Server-based replication with FullTime RepliStor®
• Array-based replication with EMC SAN Copy™ or MirrorView™/Asynchronous
• Real-time replication with MirrorView/Synchronous.
Server-based Replication
EMC FullTime RepliStor provides server-based local and remote asynchronous replication
for Microsoft Windows environments over LAN or WAN. RepliStor provides a reliable, lowcost solution for remote data replication and recovery, data migration, centralized backup,
and automated failover of the server identity and applications to the target server. RepliStor
integrates with EMC or non-EMC storage hardware.
Array-based Replication
EMC array-based replication features SAN Copy or MirrorView/Asynchronous software.
With SAN Copy, businesses can move data quickly and easily among multi-vendor storage
systems without consuming application server cycles or LAN bandwidth. SAN Copy, hosted
on EMC CLARiiON®, moves data over SAN (via FC) or WAN (via FC/IP).
MirrorView/Asynchronous offers an array-based asynchronous, near-time, continuous
replication and restart solution for the CLARiiON storage family over extended distance.
MirrorView/A solution works over Fibre Channel SAN (via Fibre Channel) or WAN (via Fibre
Channel-to-IP converters).
Realtime Replication
MirrorView/Synchronous helps ensure continuous high data availability across a campus
or a metropolitan area with synchronous data mirroring among two or three EMC CLARiiON
systems.
