SWSM STOR MIRRORING 5.X ENT ED 1LTU Natural and man-made disasters can occur when you least expect it - serving as a reminder that in less than a moment's notice, volumes of data loss can occur. To prevent data loss from failure, error, or disaster, HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Software provides replication of valuable Windows and Linux data to another server. Proactive replication is a key strategy that can be coupled with tape backup and/or snapshot technology for up-to-the-second data protection. Having replicated data co-located enable customers to recover their static and transactional data without loss of productivity. HP Storage Mirroring Software provides host-based replication and failover for enterprise and midrange customers seeking an alternative to fabric or array-based replication. Patented replication and failover technology continuously captures byte-level data changes as they occur in your production environment and replicates those changes to one or more servers in any location without geographic limitations. By replicating only the bytes that change, Storage Mirroring Software uses the absolute minimum bandwidth required to replicate customer data. Advanced features allow a customer to control bandwidth usage and queue data for replication during off-peak times if desired. This software does not need special hardware to run and utilizes existing LAN or WAN infrastructure that already exists in their environment - saving time, additional investment, and maintenance. Storage Mirroring Software is storage independent. It will support any DAS, NAS, and SAN storage device and will support different platforms. The flexibility, resource optimization, and application-specific protection enable customers to solidify their data and disaster protection strategies using Storage Mirroring Software.
