PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Phoenix System® - Family of EDR products  

In today’s complex world, the importance of protecting data has become a high business priority. As a result, most companies are aware of the need to backup digital information to minimize data loss and aid data recovery.

The underlying assumption in the industry is that no matter what the data protection scheme and topology are, the same limitation exists: all data that needs to be protected has to be transported out of the primary data center prior to a disaster. Whatever data that remained at the primary data center or did not make it to the secondary data center was lost.

Organizations have the option to transmit their data from their main data center (‘primary’ site) to remote data centers (‘secondary’ sites) using either asynchronous or synchronous replication solutions.

Each solution has its own strengths and limitations:


 

 

Advantage

 

Disadvantage

Synchronous Replication

 
  • Close to 100% data integrity (RPO=0)

 

 
  • Often cost prohibitive
  • Limited by the distance between primary and secondary sites – inadequate protection in case of wide area/regional disasters
  • Requires large amounts of costly  bandwidth
  • Dependency on 100% line availability

Asynchronous Replication

 
  • Cost effective
  • Unlimited by distance
 
  • Loss of critical data
  • Near Synch is very costly
  • Difficulties in obtaining data consistency in complex environment

 

Regardless of the data replication mode, Axxana offers a third alternative that combines the best of both worlds, synchronous capabilities over asynchronous infrastructure.

 

The Phoenix System®

The Phoenix System®, Axxana’s family of disaster proof storage solutions, delivers: 

  • 100% data protection and recovery
    • System augments asynchronous replication solution with a local synchronous copy of the most recent write operations protected within disaster proof storage device
    • Disaster proof storage device designed to survive wide range of disasters
    • Protected data is conveyed via cable or wirelessly to the backup data center
  • Zero data loss over any distance
    • (RPO=0) over any distance without affecting performance or consistency
  • No latency
    • The system is not network reliant and therefore is not affected by network latency issues
  • Significant cost savings
    • Utilizes existing infrastructure - no need for high-end upgrades
    • Replicate more data without increasing link bandwidth
  • Data protection during link failure
    • Increases system up time even while experiencing communication failures between sites

 The Phoenix System® platform is compatible with all major storage vendors’ replication solutions and provides the basis for Axxana’s current and future family of products.

 The Phoenix System® RP is Axxana’s first EDR-grade solution and complements EMC RecoverPoint™ and supports EMC CLARiiON®, VNX Series and Vblock systems.
