Achieve Near-Zero Downtime with Real-Time ReplicationBETA from NAKIVO

Reduce the risk of data loss in case of a disaster or disruption with RPOs as low as 1 second

Ensure Data Availability
with Real-Time ReplicationBETA

Minimize downtime with DR capabilities

Improve your recovery objectives

In case your primary site is down, you can instantly turn on your replicas to maintain critical services and minimize downtime with the shortest RTOs. Choose a point-in-time replica from a series of increments as low as 1 second apart. With such a short RPO, you can restore workloads to the point in time just before the disruption.

Implement robust disaster recovery

Integrate real-time replication in your disaster recovery strategy to ensure that your systems and applications are copied to a secondary site in real time. NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides built-in DR capabilities such as automated failover allowing you to instantly power on your replicas in case of a disruption or disaster.

Maintain business continuity with advanced DR capabilities

FAQ

What is data replication?

Data replication simply means making an exact copy of a machine or data. The copy is stored in the same location as the source or in a remote data center. Replication provides tighter recovery time objectives (RTOs) when compared to backups.

With real-time (asynchronous) replication, you are able to minimize recovery point objectives (RPOs) as well as RTOs, as data is continuously copied, modified or deleted in the replica based on the changes in the source machine.

In other words, data replication allows you to minimize downtime and data loss in case of a disruptive event.

What are the different types of replication?

There are several types of data replication, mainly:

  • Synchronous replication: All changes applied on the source machine are simultaneously implemented on the target VM. You cannot make new changes on the source VM before applying all previous ones on both source and target machines.
  • Asynchronous replication: Changes you make on the source VM are saved locally and transferred to the target machine gradually within the provided RPO (1 second to 1 hour).

Other types of replication are full/partial replication, transactional replication, snapshot replication and merge replication.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication performs asynchronous real-time replication allowing you to set your preferred recovery objectives.

What are supported VMware versions?

You can create real-time replicas of VMs deployed on VMware ESXi v7.0, v8.0, and v8.0 Update 2 and 3. For earlier versions, you can create incremental app-aware VMware replicas and configure replication to run as often as every minute to reach the tightest Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
