Unstructured Data Replication

Data availability is critical, even in worst-case disaster scenarios. Replication ensures that an accurate mirror of your data always exists in case of a catastrophe, hardware failure, or a system breach where data is compromised. Unfortunately, this precaution doubles the data storage costs, and, as your data footprint grows, it becomes extremely expensive. Storing this replicated data in a less expensive storage option such as cloud or object storage will cut your disaster recovery costs significantly.

Komprise is dead simple to use, it manages and replicates across on premise and clouds.

PROTECT YOUR DATA WITHOUT MIRRORING NAS

Komprise puts a disaster recovery (DR) copy of only the data you choose, to avoid replicating all your data. For instance, you can choose to keep a DR copy in the cloud of just the data modified in the last six months.

CHOOSE YOUR DR LOCATION

Choose where you want the DR copy to reside; Komprise copies data to the cloud or on-premises targets of your choice.

ACCESS DR DATA IN THE CLOUD

Komprise provides full file access with all the NTFS permissions preserved on the DR data. You can quickly and directly access the copied data in the cloud in case of a disaster.

SIMPLE, AUTOMATED, EFFICIENT UNSTRUCTURED DATA REPLICATION

Set your DR policy in Komprise, and it does the rest. As data changes on your storage, Komprise updates the DR copy regularly.

Low cost data replication allows you to protect more of your data.

What is data replication?

Data replication is the process of creating and maintaining multiple copies of data in different locations to ensure its availability, reliability and durability. It is commonly used in storage systems to enhance disaster recovery, ensuring that data remains intact. There are different approaches to data replication, including synchronous replication, asynchronous replication and snapshot replication

Is your unstructured data protected? Is data replication costing you too much?

Replicating growing volumes of unstructured data in an identical mirror (known as NAS mirroring) can be very expensive. NAS mirroring is commonly used to ensure data can be accessible in the event of a disaster, but it requires identical data storage infrastructure offsite. This doubles the cost of the infrastructure. NAS mirroring is at the volume level, so you cannot choose which data to replicate and to where; all shares on the volume, including data and snapshots are replicated.

Paying for an identical replica of infrastructure is often warranted for critical data, but it is difficult to justify this cost for non-critical data. As a result, non-critical data is often left unprotected. Organizations want to pick the right level of data replication depending on the nature of unstructured data in each share, without having to make blanket decisions for entire volumes as required by NAS mirroring solutions.
