Creates Point-in-Time, Full-Volume Copies on High-Speed Disk

What Is Replication Manager?

What Is Replication Manager?A portfolio of software applications that dramatically simplify and automate the creation, management, and usage of disk-based replications

Who Needs RM/SE?RM/SE is ideal for customers who:

Need easy replication of Windowseasy replication of Windows applications (SQL Server, Exchange)Have small to midsmall to mid--sizedsized environments Tape restores are not recoveringnot recovering within the windowwindow neededLooking to maximize the investmentmaximize the investment in SnapView and SAN Copy

RM/SE is very easy to use and is aimed at Dell/EMC-Windows customers

SnapView replication technology makes it fast and efficient…..Create point-in-time copies of Exchange/SQL database/log files Exchange remains online, with no performance impactReverse synch of replica provides fast restoreFully compliant with Microsoft VSS architecture

RM/SE makes it easy…..Automates the hot-split process Simple GUI designed for email administrator, not storage administratorPoint in time copies scheduled as requiredUnattended operationAllows application focused administrators to create, manage, andrestore replications of SQL Server and Exchange without requiring an in-depth understanding of Dell/EMC or SnapView

RM/SE builds on SnapView Technology

Windows Style GUIConfiguration Checker

Auto-detects customer environment Auto-Discovery

Auto discovers arrays, applications, replication technologies and OS greatly reducing configuration time

Application Integration

Mount Options for Exchange

• Users have the option of running ESEUTIL/ ESEFILE

• Users have the option to mount replicas using Windows mount points

• Pre- and post- scripts as part of a job (backup, etc.)

Restoring Replicas

Replicas can also be restored back to the production serverRestore the entire content of a replicaRestore part of a replica such as an Exchange store (Mailbox store, public store, etc.)

What Is VSS?

Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Copy Service is built into Windows Server 2003

A framework for making volume snapshots on a Windows platformCoordinates Writers, Providers, and Requestors

Restoring and Recovering Exchange

Data Restore From the Dell/EMC BCVFast incremental reverse synchronizationImmediate availabilityDell/EMC Protected Restore preserves the backup database copy

Exchange Server log replayThe Exchange Server replays the log files into the restored copy of the database on the production volume Results in a database recovered up to the point in time of the failure

Exchange – Checking Consisitency
