Your customer has been using a CLARiiON CX3 array for several months in a Windows environment. The customer asked you to help design a data replication solution to an off-site facility approximately 250 km away. The customer’s current network infrastructure can only provide the equivalent of a T1 connection to the second facility; the customer is asking for an RPO of no more than 20 minutes. The customer needs to replicate roughly 1.75 TB of data with a change rate of less than 10%.
The solution must also scale easily and quickly to accommodate anticipated future growth, and it must provide the lowest possible entry point to meet the current requirements.
Which replication solution would you suggest?
