Data replication tools

Third-party tools are available that can be used to create a geographically remote mirror of a running system (including database, file storage, and full index data).

• IBM® Spectrum Protect
• VERITAS Volume Replicator.
• SAN/NAS storage vendors (for example, EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility, EMC Centera (deprecated) asynchronous replication, and Network Appliance SnapMirror).
• Geographic Remote Mirroring (GeoRM) for AIX®.
• Oracle Data Guard (covers only the Oracle databases; other replication products are needed for the other data).
