I use Hitachi Ops Center and Protector to create Thin Image, Shadow Image, and for remote replication. We also connect to Site Recovery Manager to replicate virtual machines to another site. We have two sites, one office, and a disaster recovery site. We need to copy data from one site to another.
The features of Hitachi Universal Replicator that I use include data flow, monitor, and Data Mobility Services. We have Data Mobility Services resource pool and resource group mirror unique allocated. Features like source journal, destination image, remote path, volume name, and capacity saving mode are valuable. De-duplication, compression, and capacity saving processing mode are essential. Other useful aspects are storage target, default data reduction, shared volume, and automatic journal creation. These features work synchronously for tasks like remote cloning or universal replication.
