The HP 3PAR Replication Software Suite offers automatic replication, transparent failover and Point-in-Time (PIT) copies enabling seamless disaster recovery for critical data. These features provide an agile, efficient and simple solution to protect against the unpredictable. This suite is ideal for virtualized data centers demanding data availability and business continuity 24×7. Remote Copy Software dramatically reduces the cost of remote data replication and disaster recovery by leveraging thin copy technology, enabling multi-site and multi-mode replication with both midrange and high-end arrays, and reducing the need for professional services. Virtual Copy enables rapid application recovery-while containing costs with a “thin-aware” implementation that minimizes the amount of physical capacity that is actually being consumed by your data-and without sacrificing performance, availability, or versatility. HP 3PAR Peer Persistence software enables HP 3PAR StoreServ systems located at metropolitan distances to act as peers to each other, presenting a nearly continuous storage system to VMware vSphere hosts connected to them.
