Features
Hitachi Universal Replicator provides the following key features:
•Heterogeneous Storage System Support
–Used with the Universal Storage Platform or Network Storage Controller, Universal Replicator software enables storage management and disaster recovery in heterogeneous systems, providing maximum flexibility and support of
–Universal Replicator software supports any storage connected to a Universal Storage Platform or Network Storage Controller, permitting data to be copied from any supported device to any other supported device, regardless of operating system or protocol differences. This ensures maximum flexibility for data distribution as well as increased storage utilization and failover options.
•More Efficient Replication
–Universal Replicator software uses asynchronous replication driven by the remote site to minimize impact on primary production systems and takes advantage of journaling rather than cache files to mitigate the high resource usage of other asynchronous approaches.
–Storage usage on the Universal Storage Platform or Network Storage Controller can be minimal, just enough for the journals.
–Limited use of cache leaves cache for production application usage, further restoring primary site storage to its intended role as a transaction processing resource, not a replication engine.
–Advanced three data center capabilities provide a choice of cascade or
–Consistency groups can span multiple storage systems for large
