EMC adds 'cascaded replication' to DR

27 September, 2009


EMC Corporation has announced the industry's first cascaded replication capability for its Data Domain inline deduplication storage, one of several enhancements to the company's Data Domain Replicator software option. The ability to cascade replicated data enables enterprise organizations to enhance their disaster recovery (DR) strategy by using network-efficient replication to electronically transfer deduplicated backup and archive data to a third destination or to additional offsite locations. In addition, Replicator software now supports up to 180-to-1 remote site fan-in to a single controller for expanded automated cross-site deduplication and up to 100 per cent faster directory replication throughput using highly optimized, multi-stream replication. Together, these capabilities provide scalable, enterprise-ready deployment flexibility to large, distributed enterprises. Users can now more easily and cost-effectively achieve their DR and tape consolidation objectives while simplifying and accelerating DR readiness. Data centres and large enterprises are looking to deploy ultra-reliable, disk-based backup/restore

"Most deduplication storage systems are very immature and inflexible in replication," said Brian Biles, Vice President of Product Management of EMC's Backup and Recovery Systems (BRS) Division."Data Domain Replicator not only has more production implementations and years of production use than comparable deduplicating VTLs, it also has significant functionality differentiation, as demonstrated by these new features."
