RBC Disaster Recovery for the Masses Panel Description
RBC believes many next-generation disaster recovery solutions will offer integrated synchronous and asynchronous mirroring solutions
with snapshot capabilities. Because bandwidth is the dominant cost component in disaster recovery configurations, a key feature
for next generation solutions will be the ability to optimize bandwidth utilization according to the quality of service provided
by the long-distance connection. Synchronous mirroring is a means of copying data from one online storage system to a redundant
online system on a real-time basis to ensure, in the event of failure, zero downtime and zero data loss. Each storage operation
enacted on the primary system is simultaneously enacted on the redundant system. Asynchronous mirroring involves copying content
from one location to one or more additional locations over long distances on a selective basis, in real time or periodically,
to assure data availability at the time and place of need. Selectivity is a key architectural difference versus synchronous mirroring.
This approach is well suited for very long-distance applications, since the latency associated with long-distance TCP/IP links
necessitates the completion of operations at the primary node prior to confirmation of the mirrored operation at secondary nodes.
