EMC offers choice and flexibility to meet any service-level requirement

SRDF/S Overview
y Provides for a no-data-loss solution (RPO = 0)

in event of local disaster
– Recovery-time objective of less than one hour
Restart times are application dependent
y Provides Concurrent SRDF/S capability

– Single source volume mirroring to a multiple SRDF
target volume concurrently
Can use one relationship to test disaster restart
readiness with DR service provider for adherence to
SLA or business objectives
y Integrated with UNIX and Windows open

system cluster solutions
– Automated and semi-automated disaster restart
Cluster design will determine restart methodology

Synchronous Remote Replication and Local
Disasters
Primary requirement: Provide for a no-data-loss solution (RPO = 0) in event

of local disaster
Objective achieved: Yes, with Site B available for disaster restart
Site A Site B
Target Target
Source Source
Local Site Disaster
Synchronous replication provides for no data loss at Site B

with disaster restart
SRDF/Asynchronous Overview
y Host independent asynchronous remote mirroring solution

– No additional local host application latency for remote mirror operation
Application response time not impacted by distance
y SRDF proven framework foundation to provide for asynchronous

operations
– Software intercepts local writes addressed to SRDF/A devices
Sends data in Delta Sets with multiple updates to same block sent only once
y Provide measurable and predictable data currency timeframes

– Software provides minimum time for SRDF/A Delta Sets
Delta Set intervals can be as low as 1 second
y Management and control

– SRDF Invalid Tracks Table for changed track resync
– SRDF/A integrated with existing SRDF management capabilities
Standard SRDF management and control operations
Built on proven SRDF framework to provide highest level of data

integrity with predictable and minimal data loss exposure
Asynchronous Remote Replication and Local
or Regional Disasters
Primary requirement: Provide for minimal data loss (RPO = less than two
minutes) at any geographical distance in event of a local or regional disaster
Objective achieved: Yes, with Site B available for disaster restart
Site A Site B
Source WAN Target
Local or Regional Disaster
Asynchronous replication will provide disaster restart in the event of a regional

disaster if the restart site is located a safe distance from primary site
Concurrent SRDF Overview
y Supports ability to concurrently mirror from a single primary

volume to two remote secondary volumes
– Concurrent SRDF/S
– SRDF/S and SRDF/A
– SRDF/S and Adaptive Copy
– Concurrent Adaptive Copy
y Supported with ESCON, Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE)

y Building block for SRDF/Star using Concurrent SRDF/S and SRDF/A
– Can be used in conjunction with stretched cluster solutions

y Overview
Customer:
– Microsoft Exchange 2007, Windows Server 2003
State Government
– 4 TB of replicated capacity, CLARiiON CX3 Arrays
Department of Health
– Replicating 200 miles across 10MB WAN link
y Pain points
– 15-minute recovery point objective, quarterly disaster- recovery tests
– Must maintain cross-host consistency
– Previously used host-based replication, performance issues
y Implementation
– Continuous replication, 1-minute lag, hourly application consistency
– Placed storage groups and logs into single consistency group
– Used Microsoft VSS to bookmark images ensuring Exchange consistency
– Leveraged logged image access to test recovery
