Continuous Replication of IBM Storage Scale data

This topic provides a brief description on replication of IBM Storage Scale data.

Synchronous mirroring with GPFS replication
In a configuration utilizing GPFS replication, a single GPFS cluster is defined over three geographically-separate sites consisting of two production sites and a third tiebreaker site. One or more file systems are created, mounted, and accessed concurrently from the two active production sites.
Synchronous mirroring utilizing storage based replication
This topic describes synchronous mirroring utilizing storage-based replication.
Point-in-time copy of IBM Storage Scale data
Most storage systems provide the functions to make a point-in-time copy of data as an online backup mechanism. This function provides an instantaneous copy of the original data on the target disk, while the actual copy of data takes place asynchronously and is fully transparent to the user.
