Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] Benefits

RPO and RTO have improved drastically with the SRDF solution which has replaced a tape based recovery solution. Before the SRDF solution was deployed, backup tapes were shipped to the DR site and recovery was made from tapes during DR tests. This was largely error prone because the applications were not able to obtain a consistent point of recovery and RTO was very longer. This didn't fit our business requirements for disaster recovery. The SRDF solution has improved our disaster recovery RPO to near zero or less than 15 minutes with RTO getting drastically reduced.

In all the companies in which I have used the product the ease of Disaster Recovery was implemented in such a manner that the Risk of a Site Disaster was mitigated in a efficient way. Furthermore it made the migrations of complete DataCenters to other (new Data Centers at other locations) a piece of cake (although the complexity of the old Data Center and Infrastructures it self made it often time consuming).

We have built our Disaster Recovery site using the SRDF/s & SRDF/A, Using the SRDF we could have our off site Golden copy for the Critical Data and we managed to restore it back in case of data loss or corruption. View full review »
