Efficient Data Replication
Frustrated with the high cost of replication software licensing fees? Tired of having to use equivalent storage systems as the source and target of a replication? Need more flexibility than simply being able to replicate an entire file system or volume?
F5 Acopia data replication solutions support file-level replication between heterogeneous storage devices. With Acopia, administrators can define file sets (at the file, directory, share or volume level) to be asynchronously replicated, either locally or remotely, across an IP network of Acopia devices. Acopia supports multi-protocol file-based replication across different storage devices, and Acopia's data replication solutions are extremely bandwidth and storage capacity efficient.
"The Acopia switches reduced the size of the data set we actively manage, creating operational efficiencies. We estimate that Acopia has reduced our total backup and replication time by more than 70 percent."
- Bonnie Stiewing, senior systems administrator at United Rentals
Acopia efficient replication solutions provide many unique benefits:
Replication across heterogeneous storage devices so the replicated data does not have to reside on the same type of storage as the source
Replication for CIFS, NFS and multi-protocol data
Replication of data at the file, directory, or file system level
Only file changes are transmitted in order to preserve WAN bandwidth
Replication can occur at regularly scheduled intervals
Replicas can be accessed in a read-only fashion to ensure the availability of data, but these replicas can be quickly promoted to a read/write state in the event of a failure
Multiple replication points are supported for centralized backup applications
