Network-Efficient Replication Of Backup And Archive Data

Most large enterprise users require a global disaster recovery (DR) strategy that protects the entire organization by having one or more copies of their data at offsite locations. Traditionally, backup applications are used to copy data to tape, which are then shipped offsite. This laborintensive process is error prone, introduces security risks and is extremely slow for recovery. Network-based alternatives are limited because of the large size of the data, whether geographically centralized or distributed. There is just not enough affordable bandwidth or time in the day to move backup and archive data over a conventional Wide Area Network (WAN).

Data Domain Replicator software provides network-efficient, high-throughput, automated, ultra-safe replication for DR, remote office data protection, multi-site tape consolidation and long-term, offsite retention. Replicator asynchronously transfers only the compressed, deduplicated data over the WAN, making network-based replication economically and operationally feasible.
