Remote Byte-Level Replication

Organizations with more than one office can implement remote byte-level replication between offices for enhanced disaster recovery

Included in RevOS advanced data protection software, Revinetix remote replication offers SMB/SME the ability to recovery from a disaster event with functionality generally available only in very expense enterprise products. Disaster recovery offerings from Revinetix are based on its all-in-one rack-mount Sentio line of disk backup appliances. Each appliance is built with best of breed technology, which includes multicore Intel® Processors, Gigabit Ethernet controllers, hardware RAID, high speed Serial ATA (SATA) disks and dual-redundant power supplies (2U and larger appliances).

With byte-level replication combined with block deduplication, RevOS offers the ability to deploy a WAN DR (wide area network disaster recovery) strategy by efficiently transferring data to a remote appliance while significantly reducing the data needing to be transmitted. This is accomplished, in part, through Revinetix bandwidth optimization technology that utilizes transmission avoidance. Now, even customers with slow, lower bandwidth connections can implement enterprise-class remote replication between their facilities.

As turnkey solutions, the Revinetix Sentio disk backup appliances are easy to deploy. You connect the appliance to your LAN, assign it an IP address, run the intuitive setup wizard and then it’s ready to begin backing up your servers, desktops, laptops and other devices. It’s Microsoft Active Directory aware, which makes it easy to identify and schedule which devices you want it to automatically back up. The whole setup and configuring process can be typically completed in less than two hours. Once it’s up and running, it essentially manages itself so you to don’t have to expend any manpower managing your backups.

Adding off-site replication is as simple as deploying a second Revinetix Sentio appliance to an off-site disaster recovery location and then configuring that appliance as a secondary or replication appliance. Revinetix employs what is referred to as active-passive replication, where the on-site or primary appliance actively backs up your system’s data and then passively replicates that data to the offsite secondary backup appliance.
