24. Remote replication Sync or async full data copies across systems
Via FC or iSCSI host ports
Up to 64 replication pairs per system
The replication can be set as sync or async mode and remote replication can be done through FC or iSCSI connectivity and up to 64 replication pairs per system. In sync mode, target and source will be kept constantly synchronized. In async mode, target and source will be synchronized at user-configurable time interval, like every 2 hours or every 4 hours. Local data copies can be used to protect data from source volume fatal failure. As to remote data copies, they can be used to restart service in minutes once the local site fails due to hardware failure or disasters.
* Both storage systems are required remote replication licenses
