StoreAge’s multiCopy™ is an
innovative copy facility implemented
in conjunction with StoreAge’s
SVM™ (Storage Virtualization
Manager).
multiCopy™ enables the
creation of multiple physical copies
of volumes, regardless of storage
subsystems and SAN components.
Each copy is independently
accessible and instantly available,
allowing production servers to
access data while the copy
operation is in process. multiCopy™
enables the copying and repurposing
of information, while
leaving production servers available
for productive work and uninvolved
in data movement.
multiCopy™ allows organizations to
eliminate their information and
storage systems’ bottlenecks, while
enabling a variety of High
Availability (HA) and highperformance
capabilities such as
LAN-free and Server-free Backup. A
valuable business advantage is the
ability to support applications’
development and test them with real
data, without risking data corruption.
Key Benefits
High Performance
Creating multiple copies of a volume on separate
physical storage devices enables the increase of
applications’ performance by mounting the copies to a
backup server or to a DB server. Those applications can
now access another storage subsystem, resulting in a
much higher performance in terms of IO/Sec and
MB/Sec. Furthermore; multiCopy™ does not use any server
resources and is executed exclusively by the SVM
platform.
