For example, if 20 virtual machines on a NAS are replicated using the same template, then storage space requirements for all 20 virtual machines can be reduced by up to 95%. Whether acting as primary or backup storage, the TVS-h1288X optimizes storage utilization to provide a reliable storage cornerstone in the Big Data era.Real-time SnapSync ensures minimal RPO with real-time disaster recoveryReal-time SnapSync ensures that both the primary and secondary NAS maintain identical data. When data is written to the source, it is immediately written to the destination. If the primary NAS goes offline, IT staff can simply adjust the privilege settings of the secondary NAS to ensure continuous operations. SnapSync provides the strongest support for nonstop business operations and helps users to reduce the risk of data loss.Note: SnapSync will be available from QuTS hero h4.5.2.The TVS-h1288X also supports snapshots and remote backup to help organizations accomplish routine backup tasks cost-effectively and efficiently.Snapshots multiply backup protectionAttain peace of mind with near-limitless, instant snapshots.
