3PAR Disaster Recovery Solutions

The ChallengeProtecting application data from natural or man-made disasters is critical to keeping a business running when the worst happens. Unfortunately, the cost and complexity of replicating data with traditional approaches means that often only the largest companies can undertake such programs, and even so can only afford to protect their most critical data.

Unique Solution Benefits3PAR^® offers a cost-effective, comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) solution that eliminates compromise by offering a range of Remote Copy modes to suit your specific needs. For example, a large company can protect more of its data for less cost. A medium-sized enterprise can have the peace of mind that its data is safe, even if disaster strikes. Cloud service providers and enterprise customers alike can reduce equipment costs with 3PAR’s unique support for multi-site disaster recovery by using a mixture of both midrange and high-end arrays.

Cost-Effective Replication	3PAR Remote Copy replicates data cost-effectively over your existing IP-based infrastructure and is supported on all InServ arrays—both high-end and midrange. Eliminate the expensive converters and management of a separate special-purpose infrastructure, professional services engagements, and the exclusive use of high-end monolithic storage to achieve robust DR.
Long Distance Replication with Zero Data Loss	3PAR Remote Copy software offers a unique Synchronous Long Distance mode supported on both high-end and midrange arrays so you can meet low RTOs and zero-data-loss RPOs with complete distance flexibility using "right-sized" storage and without the need for professional services.
Protect More Data with Less Capacity	3PAR Remote Copy is thin provisioning–aware, so you only need to mirror your written data, saving on both transmission and physical capacity costs.
Eliminate Costly Consulting Fees	3PAR Remote Copy is simple to install and easy to use. Eliminate the costly consulting and protracted deployment times required by replication solutions from traditional storage vendors.
Economical Replication Reduces Traffic	Asynchronous Periodic mode only replicates the most recent change to a data block, not all of the changes. This efficient mode reduces the total data transmitted, saving line costs and reducing congestion of your existing network.
Minimize Bandwidth Costs	Combine 3PAR Remote Copy with Riverbed Steelhead appliances to significantly improve the efficiency of disaster recovery implementations by speeding the performance of applications between primary enterprise datacenters and remote sites up to 50x faster.
