PowerStore offers synchronous and asynchronous replication to transfer data to another PowerStore array. When the secondary array is at a different location, this can help to protect data from localized geographical disasters. Replication RPOs and options are set within protection policies.
PowerStore replication can augment SQL Server replication by providing another mechanism for data mobility. Maintaining backup copies for attaching databases and seeding availability groups are some use cases. Depending on the network architecture, there may be advantages to moving data across the storage network compared to the SQL Server host network.
