Replication 19
Replication Both Sync and Async are supported Both FC and iscsi No configuration restrictions A9000 to A9000 A9000 to A9000R / A9000R to A9000 A9000R to A9000R Consistency group support P P S S 20
Replication Configurations One to one Source P S Destination Bidirectional Source Destination P S S P Destination Source One to many Source P P S Destination S Destination Many to one Source P S Destination Source P S Destination 21
Synchronous Replication Metro Distances Up to 100 km standard support 10 usec per km latency added Advantages Master and subordinate are always in sync Designed for 0 RPO P P S S P S 22
Asynchronous Replication Global distances Maximum 250 ms latency 200 volumes maximum (not enforced) Interval range 1 to 10 minutes Minimum RPO 2 minutes Advantages No latency penalty for host IO RPO configured for each replication relationship Volume or consistency group P P S S P S 23
Hyper-Scale Mobility 24
Hyper-Scale Mobility Online, non-disruptive volume mobility between A9000s in a manner that is transparent to host applications Allows for Maximizing space utilization Maximizing workload utilization Minimizing TCO 25
Hyper-Scale Mobility Three step process Initialization phase Volume data is moved from first A9000 to the second A9000 via a background process Proxy mode Volume appears to reside on first A9000, but all IO commands are being proxied to second Completion phase Remove host mapping and paths from first A9000 26
Encryption 27
Data at rest encryption Data is encrypted by each MicroLatency module Happens after data reduction occurs Vault devices are also encrypted Accomplished inside each grid controller Typically only metadata is stored in a Vault device Also used to store write cache data in event of an emergency shutdown SKLM 2.6 is supported Other KMIP compliant key managers available via RPQ 28
