The bidirectional HP P2000 Array solution addresses the growing need among businesses to ensure continuous availability of applications that are critical to daily business operations. HP P2000 enables two sites in a remote replication connection to use each other as a destination to maintain replicated copies of online data. This maximizes resource utilization while enabling business continuance, even in the event of disaster.

Disaster Tolerance

The P2000 G3 FC products utilize snapshot data online and in real time to a remote P2000 G3 through a local or extended storage area network (SAN). Additionally, data replication can be bidirectional, meaning that a storage array can be both a source and a destination. A particular LUN can be replicated in only one direction between the two storage arrays. Write I/O data sent to the source is replicated by HP P2000 Array to the destination. A pair of properly configured HP P2000 G3 FC arrays is a replication solution that guarantees data integrity in the event of a storage system or site failure.

Normalization (first initial copy)

When a DR site is initially created a normalization or initial copy of the data from the source volume to the target volume must occur. The P2000 G3 array allows this first copy to take place locally. After completion the disks can me manually moved to the remote location. Subsequent changes will only remotely copy the changed blocks.

SAN Extensions

HP P2000 G3 Array provides the capability to replicate data over direct Fibre Channel. The distances supported over dark fiber are determined by the speed of the dark fiber connection and the technology used to communicate over the dark fiber.
