RecoverPoint: It is a networked-based replication or out of band solution which uses existing SAN or IP infrastructure to protect/recover the data by providing

g unlimited recovery points with application aware I/O bookmarks RecoverPoint takes data snapshots every few seconds, which provides the ability for replication to rollback and forward data on the target volume for testing and recovery Mission critical applications require protection gaps are unacceptable instant recovery where excessive

It uses existing Fibre Channel infrastructure to integrate seamlessly with existing host applications and data storage subsystems. For long-distance replication, it uses existing IP to send replicated data over a WAN I/O is sent to the RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) in one of two ways: through a host based splitter or using intelligent Fabric switches from Cisco. At the Source site, the CDP engine captures every I/O into the Source CDP journal with I/O bookmarking to capture application events.

Host-based Write Splitting

Requires RecoverPoint Splitter Driver (RPSD) installed on the Host
Host-based splitters require the RecoverPoint Splitter Driver (RPSD) to be installed on the host. This driver performs the actual I/O splitting from the host, and sends one copy to the RPA and one to the hosts normal storage volume

Repository Volume (rvol)

Repository Volumes (rvols) are volumes created on existing storage arrays in the environment. The rvol contains the consistency groups meta-data and a bitmap region.1
