100% Different - Synchronous Replication Over Asynchronous Infrastructure

The Market Challenge

In today’s complex world, the importance of protecting data has become a high business priority. As a result, most companies are aware of the need to backup digital information to minimize data loss and aid data recovery.

The underlying assumption in the industry is that no matter what the data protection scheme and topology are, the same limitation exists: all data that needs to be protected has to be transported out of the primary data center prior to a disaster. Whatever data that remained at the primary data center or did not make it to the secondary data center was lost.

Organizations have the option to transmit their data from their main data center (‘primary’ site) to remote data centers (‘secondary’ sites) using either asynchronous or synchronous replication solutions.

Each solution has its own strengths and limitations:

Regardless of the data replication mode, Axxana offers a third alternative that combines the best of both worlds, synchronous capabilities over asynchronous infrastructure.

The Phoenix System

The Phoenix System™ from Axxana enables organizations to:

• Achieve zero data loss disaster recovery
• Eliminate distance limits
• Realize significant cost savings over traditional mirroring.
• The Phoenix accomplishes this by augmenting the asynchronous replication solution of the enterprises’ choice with a local synchronous copy of the most recent write operations protected within a disaster proof new generation storage device, the Enterprise Data Recorder (EDR).

Designed to withstand a wide variety of extreme conditions, the Phoenix System protects the data through the course of the disaster. Data extraction is achieved either by physical connection options, or via multiple wireless options.

The Phoenix System platform is compatible with all major storage vendors’ replication solutions and provides the basis for Axxana’s current and future family of products.

The Phoenix System™ RP is Axxana’s first EDR-grade solution and complements EMC RecoverPoint™ and EMC CLARiiON® networked storage systems.
