The trend toward distributed organizations has resulted in critical data being generated at multiple locations, creating unique challenges for corporate IT professionals tasked with managing and protecting this data. These challenges are further complicated as organizations look to implement an archival tier of storage to reduce costs.
Touchless DR™ WAN Replication was specifically designed for organizations that have standardized on remote mirroring and replication technologies for ensuring access to critical data in the event of a disaster. By automatically replicating data between local and remote PowerFile appliances, Touchless DR reduces both risk and management complexity while maintaining quick access to archived information in the event of a disaster.
Touchless DR offers active-active replication at the volume level to ensure that all archived data can be quickly and easily recovered from either location in the event of a disaster. The software also preserves critical file-level security (ACL) attributes between replicated HSA systems to enforce proper access levels in a failover scenario.
Touchless DR was designed specifically for replication of persistent data between hybrid tiers. By replicating only files that have been marked as archival by the administrator, the software eliminates unnecessary network traffic associated with replication of constantly changing, dynamic data. For security, AES 256-bit encryption can be enabled or disabled by the administrator.
The feature is enabled through a simple software license key process. Configuration and management tasks are integrated into the HyrbidOS™ browser-based administration console.
