MiraLink Product Overview

MiraLink products utilize patented IntelliBuffer® powered data mirroring engine technology to provide the benefits of synchronous mirroring with no distance limitations. The result is a family of solutions that mirror an exact copy of your data to to a secondary site of your choice virtually anywhere in the world.

Common Configurations

• MiraLink is the target of the mirroring feature available in the OS.
• Use MiraLink as the primary storage and configure the server to share it with all devices on the network.

Industry experts agree that synchronous mirroring is the ideal solution for remote data protection but, prior to MiraLink’s suite of data mirroring solutions, remote mirroring technology was only available to the largest companies. Barriers to deployment have traditionally included the overwhelming costs, distance limitations and primary site performance degradation caused by other products. Customers can now take advantage of a true mirroring technology at an affordable price without the traditional drawbacks by using MiraLink devices.

Quite simply, if you can create storage volumes on your operating system, then you can manage the MiraLink products in your network.

• The MiraLink appliance to a server using a SCSI cable
