| EMC and Fujitsu Siemens demonstrate new global failover and recovery solution Solution integrates SRDF/A and Primecluster software to deliver automated business continuity across extreme distances.
The demonstration showcased a new integrated global recovery solution comprising EMC's high-performance SRDF/Asynchronous (SRDF/A) remote replication software, Symmetrix DMX GigE multi-protocol channel directors and Fujitsu Siemens Computers' Primecluster product suite for high availability. David Donatelli, EMC's executive vice president of Storage Platforms Operations, said, "Our customers know that when it comes to business continuity, distance matters. This demonstration of SRDF/A proves that integrated, long-distance recovery solutions are practical, affordable and deployable today." Peter Jilek, executive vice president Enterprise Products at Fujitsu Siemens Computers, added, "Today we have demonstrated that achieving global recovery - whether it's across the country or across continents - is a reality. Working with EMC and using standard products such as SRDF/A and Primecluster offers new opportunities for global enterprises to consolidate locations and infrastructures to meet their ever-changing business requirements." SRDF/A creates and maintains a recoverable and restartable copy of critical data over any distance with no host application impact. The high availability services of Primecluster software manage the geographically distributed cluster, participating applications and system components, while monitoring the cluster ‘heartbeat’ to protect against primary site failure. www.fujitsu-siemens.com
