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. You can also join dissimilar controllers; for instance a Combo controller can
snap remotely to a 1 or 10 GbE iSCSI array. 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
No-single-point-of-failure solution to increase the availability of your customers data
