Overview

  • Simple, efficient, and scalable, Dell PowerScale SyncIQ data replication software provides data-intensive businesses with a multi-threaded, multi-site solution for reliable disaster protection.

    All businesses want to protect themselves against unplanned outages and data loss. The best practice is typically to create and keep copies of critical data, so it can always be recovered. There are many approaches to creating and maintaining data copies. The right approach depends on the criticality of the data to the business and its timeliness, in essence, how long the business can afford to be without it.

    As the sheer amount of data requiring management grows, it puts considerable strain on a company's ability to protect its data. Backup windows shrink, bottlenecks emerge, and logical and physical divisions of data fragment data protection processes. The result is increased risk with storing data and the growing complexity in managing it.

    PowerScale SyncIQ offers powerful, flexible, and easy-to-manage asynchronous replication for collaboration, disaster recovery, business continuity, disk-to-disk backup, and remote disk archiving.
