Slow system response & low recovery speedHigh cost & unreliable replication solution

Increasing investment in storage management instead of data storageIncredible data growth speed80% cold dataEmerging virtualization requirements$BudgetDemanding requirements & small budgetChallenges Faced by IT Facilities

#Heterogeneous networks and isolated systems complicate the overall IT architecture and pose great challenges to system management and maintenance.As IT technologies develop, initial investment costs on hardware and software are declining; however, the OAM expenses keep increasing in the later stage. According to Forrestor's statistics, maintenance costs currently take up 70% of the total IT investment, and only 30% is invested into purchasing new facilities.Costs on the increasingly complicated O&M occupy over 60% of a system's TCO during its life cycle.3

#SmartCache is another highlight in the T series' software, in addition to the snapshot, replication, and mirroring that are generally offered by traditional mid-range storage products. SmartCache monitors hotspot data in real time and copies the hotspot data to SSDs, greatly improving IO performance for applications.14

UltraVR Data Protection and Disaster Recovery in Virtual EnvironmentsData protection and disaster recovery in virtual environments: provide 10 times of data protection as traditional data protection technologies

#Data is synchronized incrementally between the production site and disaster recovery site.When a disaster occurs, a one-click failover from the production site to the disaster recovery site can be performed to switch over virtual machine services to the disaster recovery site.Data is then reversely synchronized from the disaster recovery site to the production site.After the production site is recovered, a one-click failback from the disaster recovery site to the production site is supported.The startup sequence and interval of virtual machines can be specified in failover and failback.The disaster recovery site can have disaster recovery rehearsals without interrupting the production site's services.The UltraVR for vSphere provides graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring and managing failover, failback, and disaster recovery rehearsals.20
