From accidental file deletions to fires and floods, all kinds of data disasters threaten business operations and escalate the demands on IT. Better business continuity solutions are needed - to improve backup, speed restore, and reduce lost work. Only remotely replicated, disk-based image copies offer complete data protection and rapid recovery, but historically this function has only been available as an expensive software add-on. Today, EqualLogic, Inc. makes automatic remote replication fast, easy, and affordable as a standard feature of its PS Series array.

Storage-Based Replication Options: Selecting The Right Replication Method For Optimal Data Protection

Business continuity has historically been out of reach for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) because it was too costly and complicated. While large companies could afford expensive fiber channel storage area networks (FC SANs), the highly trained staff to manage them, duplicate data centers, channel extenders, and expensive replication software, SMBs were restricted to making backup tapes and carting them to the storage administrator’s basement for safe keeping.

This tech report shows how VMware Site Recovery Manager along with Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage replication can help make disaster recovery manageable, affordable and automated.
