Disaster Recovery & Business Continuance

Reduce Reliance on Tape Infrastructure

Isilon's Disaster Recovery and Business Continuance solution enables you to reduce operational costs, fully utilize storage resources, and reduce reliance on the tape infrastructure--while successfully meeting recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTOs).

Fast Replication

For any disaster recovery initiative, Isilon SyncIQ® software delivers extremely fast replication of data across multiple Isilon IQ clusters over the WAN and LAN, optimizing daily transfer times and minimizing bandwidth usage while keeping the failure site up-to-date.

Improved Data Reliability

For local backup and restoration, Isilon's SnapshotIQ™ supports an unlimited number of snapshots within a highly-scalable, single pool of clustered storage. Administrators can schedule frequent snapshots and therefore gain greater flexibilities in meeting their recovery objectives.

NDMP Support

Isilon supports the well-adopted Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) standard for backing up network-attached storage using familiar backup and restore applications such as CommVault, Bakbone, or VERITAS Netbackup. Isilon IQ's unique architecture allows backups to be spread across multiple streams, which can significantly improve overall backup and restore performance.

Smart Policies

Our SyncIQ application software provides a rich set of policies for creating and scheduling storage replication and migration activities to meet a broad range of backup requirements. Backup performance can be configured and optimized for both network bandwidth and cluster resource utilization.

SyncIQ provides an intuitive, fully integrated wizard-driven web-based management console that allows for graphical monitoring and reporting across all Isilon IQ nodes. As a licensable software module for Isilon IQ, SyncIQ can be installed, configured and can begin replicating data in less than 10 minutes.
