LeftHand Networks launches ‘Remote IP Copy’

ILeftHand Networks, a provider of complete, integrated IP storage area network (SAN) solutions, has announced the launch of Remote IP Copy, a combination snapshot and replication application that simplifies the process of creating and maintaining multiple copies of data, with almost real-time concurrency, across multiple locations.

According to LeftHand Networks, with Remote IP Copy, companies can build a robust, off-site storage disaster recovery infrastructure at an affordable cost and to use a remote facility for backup and data archival.

"Typically, only high-end fibre channel storage solutions offer the high availability and distance replication required to build a complete business continuity infrastructure for storage," stated Tom Major, vice president of marketing at LeftHand Networks. "Few companies have the staff and budget to support this type of solution. Remote IP Copy provides both the high availability and site redundancy necessary to fully address storage disaster recovery, at a fraction of the cost of fibre channel. The simplicity of the solution will allow companies to implement disaster recovery with their existing staff, without investing in the training required to come up to speed on fibre channel."

Remote IP Copy will be available from November 1st as an add-on application to LeftHand's SAN/iq Distributed Storage Matrix (DSM) SAN software. Pricing starts at $8,700.
