Data Mirroring

Your mirror may stay in one place, but your appearance changes every day.

Data mirroring technology,like a real mirror, reflects these everyday changes bycopying every new file to a surrogate systemas it’s being saved.

Backing up data is paramount to keeping any business functional and secure – but it isn’t always enough to ensure your company, small business, or brokerage will survive a catastrophic data destruction event. Data mirroring is a simple yet cutting-edge solution to keeping your business up and running no matter what.

CUC Solutions, a full-service data storage integrator, has been a leader in the information technology industry for over 20 years and specializes in integrating data mirroring storage into existing business systems. With CUC’s data mirroring system in place, you’ll never have to worry about losing your files or your business due to electronic data loss. Mirroring storage:

Doesn’t require new software

Serves as a “hot” standby system

Fails over automatically

Prevents a long data recovery process

Saves time and cost in a data loss event

Mirroring storage is based on a startlingly simplistic premise: Why settle for a static solution when you can have a dynamic one?

Businesses that want to stay ahead of the data recovery process need data mirroring integrated into their current backup and restore plan. Think of it this way: if you backup your systems on September 1, but an unpredictable interruption such as a natural disaster, power outage, telecommunications failure, or hacker invasion destroys all of your data on September 30 – you may have already lost your way back to business continuity.

But you may ask yourself: how can I backup data constantly? The answer is mirroring storage.

Your mirror may stay in one place, but your appearance changes every day. Data mirroring technology, like a real mirror, reflects these everyday changes by copying every new file to a surrogate system as it’s being saved.

Let’s say that System A is the server to which everyone in your business saves electronic data. System B, located offsite and likely, out-of-state, receives a copy of every electronic file in real time as it’s being saved to System A. Data mirroring creates a completely separate yet completely identical system that has immediate, “hot” failover capabilities.

“Hot” failover is a remarkable method of maintaining business continuity in the face of disaster.

Again you may ask, who needs a “hot” failover? Won’t my backup disks restore my system? Many businesses, especially those in the health care and financial industries, will benefit enormously from mirroring storage’s “hot” failover capabilities. Restoring a system from disks may take days or even weeks, depending on how much data was lost; data mirroring keeps your files secure and enables your business to run as usual even in the face of catastrophe. Not a second is lost. When you implement a mirroring storage system, and your in-house system is corrupted or destroyed, it will automatically failover to your mirrored system without a glitch.

Data mirroring is an invaluable solution to any storage system. To contact CUC Solutions about integrating mirroring storage capabilities into your business, call (800) 874-8807 or visit www.optical.com.
