Local Replication
Snapshot and volume copy/mirror capabilities

Overview:

In business-critical environments, users require strong protection for their valuable data sets. To help users protect data in the most efficient way, local replication leverages the power of Infortrend storage systems to provide snapshot and volume copy/mirror capabilities. With space-saving snapshot copies, users can easily restore files or rollback data as necessary. With the full data copies, users can quickly restore service when a RAID-protected volume fatally fails.

Benefits:

Features	Benefits
Increased availability	Immediately use disk-based full data copies to support applications when source data volume fails; constantly mirrored copies minimize data loss Restore files and roll back data in seconds; data is protected from accidental or malicious losses to ensure the highest system availability
Space-efficient, low-impact data protection with snapshots	Instantly take point-in-time data images and use them as granular recovery points while consuming minimum disk space and performance by storing only data changes
Flexible data copy deployment	Split and re-sync mirroring between source and copy as business needs require; flexibly leverage independent copies of production data for secondary applications
Simplified management	Take advantage of scheduling and capacity control mechanisms; minimal manual intervention is required to perform data protection
Affordable data protection	Extend data protection beyond RAID capabilities while staying within tight budgets
Close integration with applications	Ensure close integration with leading operating systems and common business applications
