[3] In 2003, additional operations in San Jose, California were announced along with $12 million in funding and a first product.
Alternatively, groups of writes can be aggregated according to configuration in order to reduce storage space and network traffic.
CDP works only over a storage area network - the RecoverPoint appliances need to be configured for the replica and the journal Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs).
CRR can be combined with CDP in order to provide concurrent local and remote (CLR) replication.
EMC advertises RecoverPoint as heterogenous due to its support of multi-vendor server, network and storage arrays.
[13] Host-based write splitting is done using a device driver that is installed on the server accessing the storage volumes.
This configuration allows splitting from all operating systems regardless of their version, and is agnostic to the storage array vendor.
This method allows write splitting from all operating systems, and does not require special SAN switching hardware.
Besides integration with EMC products such as AppSync, ViPR, Replication Manager, Control Center and Unisphere, and the Clariion, VNX, Symmetrix and VPLEX storage arrays, RecoverPoint integrates with the following products: Integration with VMware vSphere, VMware Site Recovery Manager and Microsoft Hyper-V allows protection to be specified per virtual machine instead of per volumes that are available to the hypervisor.
