Infrastructure Replication/Mirroring
Replication
When thinking about data protection in a network, two technologies need to be considered: data backup and data replication.
Cloud 9 Backup copies data off-site to a secure location and maintains several versions of files to protect against both accidental and malicious data corruption.
Cloud9 Backup Replication
Cloud 9’s DS-System can be replicated between two or more DS-Systems.
This offers many benefits, such as:
- Redundancy: with multiple working copies (secondary backups) of the DS-System Online Storage.
- High availability: DS-Clients can switch from a failed DS-System to a Replicated DS-System immediately
- Application specific replication: no 3rd party tools are needed to replicate the storage, database or application. Replication provides a duplicate, live vault with all the moving parts of a primary vault
- Support of dissimilar hardware and platform configurations: Microsoft Windows on primary vault and a Linux build as your secondary vault. Different Extensible Storage Configuration from source DS-System to Replicated DS-System is also supported.
- Data is replicated at the block level: de-duplicated, encrypted and compressed backup data is replicated in the most efficient manner
- Site-based (installation-based) licence as opposed to capacity based licence: The cost is the same to replicate 1TB or 100TB of data
- Replication is not limited to a primary and secondary site only: additional replication sites can be turned up based on Managed Server Provider customer's requirements
