Data Replication
Data Replication is the process of backing up data remotely to a secure off-site location,
but differs from Data Vaulting in that it only replicates changes in data. A snapshot of
your system is made and any changes from the previous one will be backed up. This minimises
the demand placed on systems and networks, which is a critical issue when replicating data
over long distances.
The service is incredibly flexible, so that you define the parameters for how often the data is mirrored, and whether it is done on a continuous basis, at regularly scheduled periods, or out of hours to avoid disrupting users. The frequency of the replication will depend on the importance of the data and how quickly you need it restoring in the event of a network failure or a disaster. If the worst should happen, restoring data is easy and much faster than more traditional tape backup methods, as the data is readily available.
ICM offers both synchronous and asynchronous data replication options, and our recommendation will depend upon the capabilities of your existing system and the critical nature of your data, which may vary between your departments.
ICM knows that each customer has individual requirements, so our technical experts will carefully study your systems and look at your specific priorities before making any recommendations, so our solutions are tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring the maximum availability of your data, whilst remaining cost effective.
