Last time, I raised the issue that modern disaster recovery strategies require near real-time data replication to ensure that data is protected almost as soon as it is created. Furthermore, the ...

Synchronous vs asynchronous replication: How do they differ with regard to the order of events during data writes? When comparing synchronous vs asynchronous replication, let’s take a scenario where a ...

Asynchronous replication technology is the latest approach to providing fault tolerance for server and network storage. Unlike the replication technologies that preceded it, asynchronous technology ...

In a world that appears to be governed by Murphy's Laws, anything can go wrong. Accidents ranging from machine crashes, media failures, operator errors and random data corruption to such catastrophes ...

Protecting essential data has never been more important than it is today due to the escalating cost of system downtime and the increased likelihood of natural and human-made disasters. As a result, ...

Sprint, Hitachi Data Systems and Cisco have combined their technologies and expertise to smash the distance record for asynchronous data replication. In a recent demonstration, the companies simulated ...

Replication excels at providing immediate data availability, but it shouldn’t be the sole safeguard against human errors, data corruption, or cyberattacks. Data replication has stood the test of time, ...

I'm planning on setting up a test iSCSI export on my NAS which will be used by a KVM virtualisation host to store all guest volumes and data. My NAS box is a self-build running CentOS and this is ...

A partnership of Sprint, Cisco and Hitachi Data Systems said on Tuesday it has shown that a kind of data replication can be done on a relatively cheap Internet Protocol network at a distance of more ...
