Accounts’ requirements: Backup software should support uniform Web monitoring/configuration interface; it should also support data files backup and protection, various database backup and protection, real-time application protection, remote disaster recovery, etc. on diverse operating system platform (windows, Linux must be included at least ); it can capture byte-level incremental data bypass and formulate corresponding strategies for data backup with log function, containing start-up time, storage path, traffic control, backup mode, state management, thus replicating updated data to local or remote backup system. If local backup system failed, it could be restored from remote backup system; it can accomplish CDP(continuous data protection), restoring data at any point.
I2Soft adopts the advanced asynchronous real-time data replication technology, immediately transferring all the fine-grained byte- level changes in disk system on the servers to a redundant servers through the network, instead of transferring the entire files or disk mirror. Therefore, the influence on server performance and network bandwidth can be dropped to the lowest. Once the backup center takes over the service, its system can be activated in the shortest time and continue to provide service, during which the user is not necessary to restore data. I2Soft solution will help you to lower the cost to the minimum, truly realizing real-time data protection, guaranteeing the real-time, integrity and consistency of data. Business data is one of the most valuable asset for the user. Loss of data means the loss of enterprise profit, so the protection of the business data is one of the main functions of the enterprise computing system. Implementation of I2Soft disaster recovery solution can minimize the user data loss or even to zero.
To backup the whole system in a limited bandwidth environment, the solution combines with the customer's specific requirements and gives priority to reliability, efficiency and safety, detailedly describing the planning and implementation with the help of I2Soft software .
Combined with current real environment and requirements above, I2Soft provides solutions as below. For details, please refer to the topological graph:
As solution above, I2Soft software is installed on the related host and backup servers, mainly offering real-time protection for all kinds of data files, such as Domino and database. It can backup the important data in the office system to cloud disaster recovery center which will replicate the data into the remote virtual tape library, realizing three centers' protection in two places with no physical distance limit. Its specific deployment and architecture are as follows:
Office production system: It is mainly composed of DOMINO virtual servers, Sharing the N8000 storage. Configure the i2Soft disaster recovery client module in the virtual server to achieve rapid deployment of disaster recovery software; When needed, the automatic update function will auto upgrade dispersed client module without human intervention.
I2Soft server module is installed on the disaster recovery server, receiving data sent by production server in real time. Meanwhile, i2Soft is compatible with heterogeneous storage, and transparent to the underlying storage; When exceptional situation happens, i2Soft can provide rapid real-time data recovery service. What's more, i2Soft can replicate backup data to remote VTL (virtual tape library) in the asynchronous way, strictly protecting data through three centers' protection in two place
All the configuration and monitoring can be realized through disaster recovery machine on the web, such as disaster configuration, traffic monitoring, restoration, etc. Control machine can be of any server in the grid, on which I2 server module is installed and can be received by all the servers under management.
When an exceptional situation occurs and some data needs restoration, data can be recovered from disaster recovery center to corresponding server directly through the console if disaster recovery center is operating normally. On account of i2Soft's excellent replication technology, RPO may be close to zero while RTO depends on the bandwidth and the amount of data. If the application employs high availability protection in the future, RTO can also be close to zero. If both the production system and disaster recovery center go wrong , the data can be recovered from VTL.
I2Scsft's byte-level data capture can greatly reduce the data transfer volume, thus perfectly realizing data replication in the limited bandwidth and poor network environment.
I2CDP can make a complete record for the data variation in the server, providing snapshots and complete CDP recovery at any time point. Once the source data goes wrong, it can be recovered to any time point, and supports the file restoration to a fine-grained level.
