Continuous data protection and DR with EMC RecoverPoint

Demonstration of data replication to a local or backup site,
between heterogeneous storage systems and virtualised
storage servers.

EMC RecoverPoint is a unified Continuous Remote (CRR) and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solution ensuring data recovery from any point in time. RecoverPoint supports both IP networks and SAN fabrics, heterogeneous storage systems and either physical or virtualised servers. The optimised network management, synchronous and asynchronous modes and data compression enable minimised RPOs, whatever the throughput, latency or quality of the network used. EMC RecoverPoint improves service levels and reduces replication costs to the backup site.
