1The snapshot software is supported on G2 and G3 models only. 512 snaps only applies to G3 controllers.
HP StorageWorks | HP StorageWorks P2000 Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides | |
P2000 Remote Snap | remote replication on the HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 MSA Array Fibre Channel of | |
Software | FC/iSCSI Combo products. HP Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous replication which | |
(G3 FC and FC/iSCSI | consists of replication of | |
controllers only) | may be on the same system or on a second independent system. This second system may | |
| be collocated with the first system or may be located at a remote site. |
|
| HP Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HP | |
| P2000 SAN Array products. Snapshots are used to track the data to be replicated as well as | |
| to determine the differences in data updated on the master volume, minimizing the amount | |
| of data to be transferred. |
|
| HP Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data | |
| management and protection capabilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as | |
| the underlying technology it creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for | |
| such tasks as to complement daily backups; second, replication provides the ability to | |
| access data in a remote site which could be used for dispersed operations; and third but | |
| definitely not least important replication allows for business continuance in the event of a | |
| failure on the primary site. |
|
| In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating | |
| a | |
| destination volume by copying the data represented by the snapshot via a transport medium | |
| such as TCP/IP (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel. The amount of data transferred is minimized | |
| though the use of snapshots whenever possible. |

| (NOTE: One license per array is required for replication. For example, if you |
|
| have two P2000 arrays performing replication (from Primary system to Remote |
|
| System), you will need 2 licenses). |

Product Features | Storage based asynchronous snapshot replication |
|
| Initial copy of data can be performed locally, reducing burden on wide area networks | |
| Support of both Ethernet and Fiber Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the | |
| application environments. |
|
| Snapshot based replication technology means only changed data will be replicated to | |
| alternate site |
|
| Many to 1 replication (up to 4 nodes) - primary use case is to replicate from "many" branch | |
| offices to the home office for the purpose of backing up data from the branches |
|
| Single controller to single controller replication |
|
| Mixed controller replication - replication between P2000 G3 Fibre Channel and P2000 G3 | |
| FC/iSCSI Combo arrays |
|
| Advanced scheduler provides several options to IT administrators for business continuance | |
| Flexible architecture allows remote replication between P2000 G3 Fibre Channel and/or | |
| P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI Combo arrays. Protects existing investments and enhances business | |
| continuity planning objectives. |
|
| Replication Wizard simplifies the task of setting up and establishing replication pairs from | |
| one unified, easy to use GUI. |
|
| Snapshot based replication enables both local and remote recovery depending on the need. | |
| Snapshot replication isolates problems to a specific point in time which can be selected by | |
| the administrator. Additionally snapshot replication supports longer distance replication. | |
| Multiple relationships provide greater storage flexibility and utilization. |
|
| Bundled 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy integration provides better efficiencies by | |
| combining the management and array technologies to create local copies. |
|
| Fast application recovery with minimal or no transaction loss |
|
| Creation of disaster tolerant copies of your critical business data |
