If data is the lifeblood of your organization, then you know protecting that asset is the key to your continued success. No matter how fault tolerant your servers and storage subsystems may be, if you only have a single copy of the most current data, you are at risk of data loss. Catastrophic failures of your storage subsystem due to hardware failure or natural disasters can spell disaster for your business.

Highly optimized data replication solution for Windows Server 2003 and 2008
If data is the lifeblood of your organization, then you know protecting that asset is the key to your continued success. No matter how fault tolerant your servers and storage subsystems may be, if you only have a single copy of the most current data, you are at risk of data loss. Catastrophic failures of your storage subsystem due to hardware failure or natural disasters can spell disaster for your business.

Backup tapes can only take you so far and native Windows data replication tools are generally application specific, limited in scope and are hard to manage. SteelEye DataKeeper overcomes these issues by providing a real-time data replication solution that allows you to keep real-time copies of data in sync across multiple servers and data centers.

IT organizations face many challenges in providing users with the most comprehensive and cost-effective disaster recovery and business continuity services. The following table highlights those challenges and how SteelEye DataKeeper can provide the foundation for addressing them to improve productivity and availability for all your Windows Server deployments.

Data Replication Challenges SteelEye DataKeeper Advantages
Ensuring your data is available 24x7x365 regardless of the type of failure: storage subsystem, user error, or site loss Provides continuous real-time host-based block-level replication of data to one or more targets, insuring multiple copies of your data is available at all times
Eliminating downtime associated with virtual servers that have been consolidated onto a single server and storage array Advanced virtual machine support for Hyper-V, VMware, Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, and other virtualization technologies
  • Replicate data while running within guest virtual machines
  • Replicate entire virtual machines files while running within the Windows host server (Hyper-V, VMware Server or Microsoft Virtual Server)
Exceeding Service level agreements while staying within budget Real-time data replication provides the highest RPO available. DataKeeper enables real-time replication without a large investment in array based replication.
Overcoming bandwidth and latency limitations associated with WAN replication Optimized for WAN replication
  • 9 Levels of Compression
  • WAN acceleration provides maximum throughput for high speed networks
  • Bandwidth Throttling
Avoiding full resynchronizations of critical data Incremental synchronization of large database and email repositories
Replicating transactional email and database data Block based replication ensures that regardless of the data type, replication is fast and efficient
Protecting data using your existing hardware and infrastructure
  • Does not require the introduction of a new file system - utilizes standard NTFS file system
  • Leverage existing IP networks
  • Storage independent replication
    • Does not require new or matching storage subsystems
    • Utilize existing storage
    • Replicate from SAN to SAN, Local Attached to Local Attached, SAN to Local Attached, etc.
    • Make use of virtualization technology such as VMWare, MS Virtual Server, etc.
  • Fraction of the cost of array based replication
  • Does not require the use of hardware based WAN accelerators
Identifying compatible solutions for multiple server and storage vendor environments Replication works across disparate storage arrays, and with no regard to make or model of server or storage, allowing the optimal use of your available resources
Protection for all data - not just specific applications, e.g., SQL log shipping Works independently from and with no dependencies related to applications being protected
Choosing the correct type of replication for your requirements: asynchronous vs. synchronous Choose between synchronous or asynchronous replication, depending upon your data protection requirements
Completing backups within shrinking backup windows Access to the target system allows backups to complete on the replicated data set, allowing backups to complete without impacting production servers
