NetApp® and Silver Peak make offsite replication easier, more affordable, and more responsive. By using Silver Peak’s industry leading optimization software with NetApp® SnapMirror® and SnapVault®, companies of all sizes can meet their Recovery Point Objectives (RPO), lower ongoing disaster recovery (DR) costs, and gain greater flexibility in data center design and implementation.
NetApp is highly efficient when doing offsite replication, transferring only changed blocks for up to 70% bandwidth savings. Silver Peak replication acceleration software complements SnapMirror and SnapVault by further optimizing available bandwidth, and by overcoming common network challenges that hamper replication performance, such as distance and congestion. The result: customers can replicate up to 20X faster over existing WAN infrastructure and lower ongoing disaster recovery costs by 50% or more. Best of all – it takes less than 20 minutes to get going!
