SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows is a WAN-optimized data replication and disaster recovery solution that features real-time CDP (continuous data protection) and extends Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering. It is packaged and architected to fit the needs of small to medium-sized businesses, yet powerful enough to accommodate the business continuity demands of larger enterprise and OEM markets. To date, small to medium-sized businesses have shied away from data replication as they feared the degraded network performance and added expense of additional acceleration technologies required to operate these solutions efficiently.

To ensure continuous availability of all the data, applications and servers within a company’s network, SteelEye DataKeeper for Windows provides:

– real-time, block-level data replication to maintain efficient replication regardless of the application associated with the data, and to minimize the burden on system resources;

– synchronous and asynchronous replication to ensure servers are in full-synch at all times, eliminating issues with in-use files, locked files, NTFS permissions and missing files, and affording systems administrators more options in prioritizing data protection and application performance;

– WAN optimization to efficiently maximize existing WAN connections, without costly hardware-based WAN accelerators;

– true CDP to let IT and systems personnel rewind a data set to the exact moment prior to data corruption or loss;

– Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering support to eliminate single points of failure and maintain geographically dispersed clusters and hybrid high-availability/disaster-recovery configurations.

Additional features and functions of DataKeeper for Windows provide flexibility and guard against data losses sustained during planned or unplanned system downtime. The product operates as a stand-alone data replication solution or as a combined offering with high-availability clustering.

DataKeeper is designed with ease-of-use in mind and supports the replication of volumes of any size with minimal impact on system performance. DataKeeper uses highly optimized LAN and WAN mirroring. One-to-many replication allows for multiple copies of critical data across a combination of local and remote locations. Finally, the product’s intuitive wizard-driven interface optimizes configuration and administration of all data protection jobs.

Based on the proven technology of SteelEye’s LifeKeeper product suite, DataKeeper for Windows is provides the same best-of-breed data replication and protection features with new capabilities designed specifically for use with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008. DataKeeper delivers premium performance at a price-point designed to encourage data centers to cost-effectively deploy on all of their business critical Windows servers
