Multisite Replication Topology

In my article (Disaster Recovery Seeding is a Pain!) I write about Datrium universal fingerprinting coupled with over-the-wire deduplication to drastically reduce the amount of data transferred between sites when replicating. Data is always globally fingerprinted, deduplicated, compressed and erasure coded, and data blocks are uniquely identified and logically aggregated.

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:56:00 +0000

NetApp released few days ago a preview of their new Rapid Cloning Utility 3.0 vCenter Plug-in, integrating storage layer with vCenter and VMware View4.
