D-RP-OE-A-24 - Dell RecoverPoint Operate Achievement

1.The production host writes data to the production volumes, but is first intercepted by the splitter. The splitter sends the write data to the RPA.

2.Immediately upon receipt of the write data, the local RPA returns an acknowledgement (ACK) to the splitter.

3.The splitter then writes the data to the production storage volume.

4.The storage system returns an ACK to the splitter upon successfully writing the data to storage.

5.The splitter sends an ACK to the host that the write has been completed successfully

RecoverPoint/BK license mode is for local backup of Data Domain storage. RecoverPoint/BK is system-based licensing for all clusters in a RecoverPoint system:

•Synchronous replication

•Multipath I/O support

•Virtualization hypervisor support for Hyper-V and VMware platforms.

•Integration with VMware vCenter, VMware SRM and vSphere VAAI support

•Built-in bandwidth reduction

•Two to eight RecoverPoint appliances per RPA cluster for failure resiliency and throughput

RecoverPoint/BK Overview:

RecoverPoint/BK is a specialized licensing mode designed for local backup operations specifically aimed at EMC's Data Domain storage systems. It enhances the data protection capabilities by integrating with Data Domain for efficient backup and recovery processes.

Functionality and Features:

Local Backup: The RecoverPoint/BK license mode is particularly utilized for local backups of Data Domain storage arrays. It ensures that the data stored on Data Domain systems can be effectively backed up and restored locally.

Synchronous Replication: Provides real-time data replication between the primary and backup locations to ensure data consistency.

Multipath I/O Support: Ensures high availability and reliability by providing multiple data paths to storage.

Hypervisor Support: Supports virtualization platforms such as Hyper-V and VMware, allowing integration with various virtualized environments.

Integration with VMware: Supports integration with VMware vCenter, VMware SRM, and vSphere VAAI, enabling seamless management and operation within VMware environments.

Bandwidth Reduction: Includes built-in features to reduce bandwidth usage during data replication and backup operations.

Resiliency and Throughput: Supports two to eight RecoverPoint appliances per RPA cluster, enhancing failure resiliency and throughput for robust data protection.
