Disaster Recovery by Remote Location Backup Remote Copy using Fibre Channel Interface (Remote Advanced Copy function (REC))
REC (Remote Equivalent Copy) provides a server-less remote mirroring function which ensures fast recovery when the primary site ETERNUS AF/ETERNUS DX become unusable because of a disaster, such as fire, earthquake or malicious damage.
Remote Advanced Copy for Storage Area Network (SAN)
- By using Fibre Channel interfaces, Remote Advanced Copy can provide lower cost remote site support between a primary storage device and a secondary device.
Extended Remote Advanced Copy for Wide Area Network (WAN)
- Extended Remote Advanced Copy uses a combination of a Fibre Channel switch and WAN converter to support very long distances over WAN. Replicated data can be located at a remote site hundreds of kilometers away from the primary site. This provides high security for the protection of critical data from both man-made and natural disasters.
In addition, ETERNUS AF or ETERNUS DX S2 and later support replication between common models and newer/previous models, as well as N to 1 integrated backup. These capabilities enable flexible system configuration matched to requirements.
