Remote Replication of Backup Data Providing Automated Disaster Recovery Protection

DXi3500, DXi7500 Express and DXi7500 models all offer compatible support for remote replication. DXi7500 Express replication is asynchronous, one-to-one or multiple-to-one configurations; partitions in same unit act as replication source or target; units with partitions acting as replication targets can also support local backup; application-aware replication available through support for Symantec OpenStorage (OST) API for NetBackup and Backup Exec 2010.

OST Support

Symantec OpenStorage (OST) API Support – Support for OST is an option on all DXi7500 units, allowing users to write data to OST logical storage units (LSUs) and enabling application-aware replication with NetBackup and Backup Exec 2010. DXi-Series units with direct tape path capability support the OST direct path to tape introduced in NetBackup 6.5.4.

Direct Tape Creation

Direct tape creation for VTLs—physical tape can be written in background over a dedicated Fibre Channel connection without using media server or backup SAN. Function maintains barcode integrity between virtual and physical tapes and is compatible with backup software direct to tape commands (e.g., Backup Exec, NetBackup, EMC Networker, Oracle Secure Backup, and Atempo TimeNavigator).

Scalability

Field upgrades to the full DXi7500 Enterprise disk backup systems are available. All disk is retained and all data is preserved during the upgrade.

VM Ready

Consolidates backup for virtual and physical servers in one system. Includes Quantum esXpress
Backup for VMware.

Backup replication means automated DR and reduced media management

Replication with de-duplication sends only new blocks—reduces bandwidth requirements by 90% or more
