Computer Associates (CA) has announced the availability of ARCserve Replication for Windows NT, described as an easy-to-implement high data availability solution designed specifically for organisations with zero tolerance for system outages. By providing real-time data replication, ARCserve Replication virtually eliminates the loss of data access associated with server crashes, catastrophic server damage or interrupted network connections." ARCserve Replication also protects users against data loss between scheduled backups. ARCserve Replication extends CA`s ARCserve storage management solution to include full-featured data replication complementing the company`s current backup/recovery, archiving, disaster recovery, and data migration/hierarchical storage management (HSM) offerings." The new replication technology will also be available as part of Unicenter TNG, CA`s end-to-end enterprise management solution. "ARCserve Replication provides a cost-effective way for businesses to have their data accessible at all times, despite server and network failures," said CA Technical Director Angela Kriek. "This product has been developed to address the data access and availability needs of the vast majority of Windows NT users whose businesses depend on continuous availability." Suitable for network installations of any size, ARCserve Replication is the first data replication product to offer transactional integrity -advanced technology that ensures that only completed transactions are committed on the secondary server, thus eliminating the risk of data corruption common in other replication products. ARCserve Replication also offers the unique ability to allow replication tasks to be executed and/or re-configured while a system is actively in use. The software enables continuous user operation by eliminating the need to take disk drives off-line, to log users off of critical systems or even to temporarily prevent them from accessing files." "With ARCserve Replication, designated files, folders, or an entire volume designated as critical on a primary server are replicated to a secondary server in real-time," Kriek explained." "In the event of a server crash or network interruption, the software intelligently detects the failure and automatically transfers users to a secondary server." The process is instantaneous and transparent to users."
