Sun StorageTek Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) Software and StorageTek PowerPPRC Software

StorageTek Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy Software and StorageTek PowerPPRC Software

Features and Benefits

Now you can deploy a proven efficient, disaster-recovery solution that recovers production services with minimal impact to your business. StorageTek PPRC and PowerPPRC software deliver rapid, accurate data recovery, and keep you calm in the face of disaster.

Key Benefits

  • Mirrors local or remote data instantly
  • Moves compressed data for speed and efficiency
  • PowerPPRC enables long-distance mirroring


Increased Storage Performance
Supercharged mirroring Both PPRC and PowerPPRC software rapidly mirror data between the primary and secondary sites, minimizing response-time degradation during duplication, In addition, PowerPPRC software provides you with increased operational distances.

Confident disaster recovery While assets such as processing power, software, hardware, and facilities can be all replaced in the event of a disaster, data is the most valuable of all resources and the most critical to recovery. PowerPPRC software keeps data synchronized and available, ensuring that when disaster strikes your data is already automatically available at the remote site. This added level of protection saves your data, reduces costs, and helps retain customers.
Improved Storage Efficiency
Replicates compressed and compacted data The architecture of StorageTek PPRC software enables it to compress and compact data as it is written into the subsystem. As a result, all the data subsequently sent between subsystems is already in a compressed format, reducing overhead and network bandwidth requirements.

Sends valid data StorageTek PPRC software maximizes data storage by not storing white space. This means only valid data is transferred between mirrored volumes, saving time and bandwidth and increasing utilization.

Provides a new level of maintenance flexibility With StorageTek PPRC software, you can switch operations to another site to complete scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, thanks to the software's built-in flexibility.

Snaps instant multi-site backup copies StorageTek Data SnapShot software, the industry's most efficient data-replication software, is integrated with StorageTek PPRC software to provide the industry's most efficient data-replication solution. StorageTek Data SnapShot software mirroring allows storage administrators to make multiple data copies across multiple sites instantaneously. This eliminates the need for copies on disk subsystems, as the StorageTek Data SnapShot volumes are point-in-time copies of primary storage. Your primary volumes remain available for production operations while you use your point-in-time copies for offline operations, such as backup, reporting, testing, and more.
