SteelHead for Data Center to Data Center Replication

Data Replication that Lets You Transfer and Protect Data – More Often – with Less Risk and Cost

OVERVIEW

Traditional disaster recovery solutions cannot entirely ensure service level agreements and business continuity

“Maintaining fast and predictable WAN performance into and between data centers has become critical for many of today’s enterprises. Protecting data within and across multiple data centers is essential to keeping a business online and operational. The challenge is doing so without generating ever increasing operational cost and risk, even as data sets and replication workloads continue to increase.”
-Brad Casemore, Research Director, IDC

Today, organizations are consolidating data centers, centralizing branch servers and storage and moving from tape-based backup to WAN-based data transfer and replication. As a result, they have more data in fewer data centers – with large data sets transferred between data centers.

Fast but reliable performance between data centers is challenged by high latency, packet loss, limited bandwidth, congestion and competition among applications.

In the face of these IT initiatives and the rapid growth in data, organizations are struggling to maintain the bottom line, as well as service-level agreements such as Recovery Point and Time Objectives (RPO/RTO) associated with mission-critical business continuity and disaster recovery processes.
