The new version, SteelEye Data Replication for Windows v6 has been released recently by SteelEye Technology. The company is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and provider of award-winning data protection and high availability solutions for Linux and Windows.The new product is the first to combine continuous data protection (CDP) features like any-point-in-time rewind with comprehensive information replication functions including support for multiple data replication targets and the chance to mix data mirrors across any combination of LANs or WANs. The combination of CDP with off-site replication helps business important data to be restored both in case of data corruption, viruses or user errors as well as in the face of large-scale physical disasters. SteelEye Data Replication v6 also boasts the fastest replication speeds across WANs in the industry.

    For corporations that require protection of more than one backup of critical business data, SteelEye Data Replication also supports multiple replication targets, which can span any combination of local and remote sites. Local data recovery is assured by continuous backup within the local information center, while asynchronous remote data replication guards against local disasters.

    One important utility is the CDP (), by which to protect users from data loss caused by corruption, viruses, and user or software errors. Immediately upon noticing data integrity issues, users can mount the replicated data on a backup volume and then move backward and forward through the information stream via time stamps or other user-defined bookmarks until the optimal set of data is constructed. That information is then placed into service and normal operations resume.TThe "Any Point in Time Rewind," a vital element of CDP that provides the ability to rewind data back in time to any moment before data loss occurred. In minutes, information can be restored and business is back to normal. Adding these functions to an already robust data replication solution offers organizations a CDP option that also brings the enhanced protection arising from more than one backup of critical business data, whether on-site or remote.

    Shobana Patel, Managing Director of Open Minds, stated: "As a long-time SteelEye reseller, we have helped many customers solve their high availability and disaster recovery needs. Some recent examples include Cabot Square Capital and New Star Asset Management. This new release of SteelEye Data Replication delivers additional features that allow us to serve an expanded set of customers and bring greater value to existing accounts."

    The new product has the industry's fastest replication speeds across WANs in order to ensure complete and continuous data protection. Through the use of software techniques that assure a constant and optimal flow of data across any wide-area connection, regardless of latency, SteelEye Data Replication achieves over 90% bandwidth utilization without the need for hardware accelerators or compression devices and touches the highest WAN throughput speeds of any software- based replication solution on the market today. For environments where even greater throughput is desired, this updated version also includes an integrated compression engine that can be tuned by users to one of nine compression levels.
