Data Replication

Data replication is playing an increasingly important role in most IT environments. It is becoming an increasingly important part of the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity strategies for many organisations.

As part of the AxiomONE software suite, Pillar offers both file and block based replication technologies that deliver heterogeneous replication for both NAS and SAN environments.

AxiomONE Volume Replicator
AxiomONE Volume Replicator gives organisations total choice and flexibility for their Disaster Recovery process.

It allows organisations to replicate business critical data to a secondary site, across geographies in real-time, to protect against a critical failure at their primary site.

Because AxiomONE Volume Replicator doesn’t tie you in to a hardware platform specific solution, you can replicate data from your existing primary storage vendor onto the Pillar Axiom system or from the Pillar Axiom to another storage solution. This gives complete freedom of choice for your storage.

The AxiomONE Volume Replicator also makes best use of your bandwidth through its intelligent compression capabilities.

AxiomONE File Replicator
AxiomONE File Replicator allows organisations to replicate important file based data between local and remote systems. It can help organisations in three main areas:

Long distance replication
It is ideal for disaster recovery purposes, where you want to move important files to a secondary site to protect against a critical outage. It is also good for content distribution where you may need to replicate files to additional sites.

Backup consolidation and centralisation
Where you have remote offices and you want to back them up without the worries of it being done on-site and having to deal with the hassles of changing tapes and employing someone to manage it. AxiomONE allows you to replicate that data back to a central location to be backed up.

Archiving and Data Lifecycle Management
AxiomONE File Replicator allows organisations to automate the migration of data through storage tiers (or Quality of Service levels) based on pre-defined policies. As files become older and their value and frequency of access declines they can be migrated for long term archiving.
