SANscreen Replication Assurance enables storage teams to understand their delivery of replication services to an application. Data warehouses, test and development, business continuity and disaster recovery environments all use some form of replication either in real time or snap shot based. The challenge is that the underlying storage infrastructure supporting data replication is complex and constantly changing. Storage managers face challenges verifying and maintaining RPO, charging back for replicated volumes, and migrating and consolidating replicated volumes without service interruption. SANscreen Replication Assurance provides visualization of the replicated environment, maintains a listing of replication policies, reports violations of these policies, and provides audits and reporting for all replication changes.
