The solution provides a means for replicating mission-critical data up to 15 kilometers away from primary storage and host systems. This ensures mission-critical data is readily available for use by other host systems in the event of an unplanned system outage at the primary site. Availability for the Windows NT operating system will follow later this year. Remote Mirroring for Disaster Tolerance Compaq's disaster tolerant solutions, also based on Fibre Channel technology, allow customers to maintain mirrored sets of mission-critical data up to 15 kilometers away from the host system. Each time a transaction occurs, data is synchronously updated to ensure a consistent data set at both locations.
Customers can use the solutions to develop an overall disaster tolerance plan.
Compaq's CustomSystems Group will design, engineer, and deliver solutions to meet customer and partner requirements and will also install and support the solutions. Support for the Windows NT operating system will follow later this year. Compaq is the second largest computer company in the world and the largest global supplier of personal computers.
