Applications
Backup and restore
The MirrorStore replication appliance facilitates disk-to-disk backup, providing high-performance windowless data protection and simplified online data recovery.
Storage consolidation
MirrorStore’s data migration and storage management capabilities help in consolidation of heterogeneous storage environments with its management and utilization efficiency.
Disaster recovery
Advanced data replication capabilities enable rapid recovery from natural disasters, system failures, viruses, accidental deletion of information and other threats to data.
 
Benefits
Cost savings, revenue protection
With its data mirroring and delta-based snapshot replication capabilities, MirrorStore helps you avoid the potentially devastating costs of data loss and data center downtime.
Windowless backup
SAN-level disk-to-disk backup capabilities provide point-in-time data protection without requiring you to tie up systems for backup runs.
Storage consolidation, centralized management
MirrorStore helps you increase efficiency and reduce costs by consolidating storage, maximizing utilization, centralizing management and facilitating the use of lower-cost disk for non-mission critical applications.
Business continuity, disaster recovery
The MirrorStore replication appliance enables business continuity and fast data recovery by providing high data availability as well as added protection of mission-critical information against disasters, system failures and data corruption.
 
Features
Standard features:
Easy integration
MirrorStore fits seamlessly into existing heterogeneous environments for ease of implementation and maximum utilization of existing infrastructures and resources.
SAN-level replication appliance topology
The MirrorStore solution encompasses a Linux-based, 2U dual-processor server, Fibre Channel and Ethernet ports, MirrorStore software, maintenance, support and professional services. The appliance can be pre-configured with StorageTek D-Series™ disk subsystems or StorageTek BladeStore (B-Series™) disk systems.
TimeMark option
The TimeMark option provides multiple instantaneous point-in-time snapshot copies of an active drive for tracking changes and rollbacks. If a disaster or data corruption occurs, you can roll back to previous snapshots.
Active-active failover
Achieve high availability with automatic failover for redundancy. Additional options enable multi-pathing and load balancing for availability and added end-to-end protection.
Data integrity and security
Encryption provides added security. Database and file system agents help maintain data integrity.
Synchronous and asynchronous mirroring
The MirrorStore appliance provides real-time and near-real-time copies of your primary data for local and remote protection and availability
Local and remote replication capabilities
Flexible, policy-based replication sessions compress the amount of data moved and when it is moved to better manage your bandwidth requirements and cost over existing Fibre Channel or IP infrastructures.
