■ Increase your link bandwidth while normalization is taking place.
■ Determine what data must absolutely be available in a short time after a
disaster, and put that data into a copy set. This applies not only to
HSG80-based storage arrays, but also with the EVA family of storage arrays.
Back up all other data using other non-realtime backup methods.
Currently most IP networks do not manage bandwidth to each individual
connection. As traffic increases due to other demands on the network, bandwidth
can be taken from the replication application. The following techniques can be
used to minimize this effect:
■ Create virtual private networks (VPNs) with Quality of Service (QoS) through
your local routers for the replication circuit.
■ Create separate physical networks.
■ Guarantee the bandwidth using a third-party router/QoS vendor.
Distance has a dramatic effect on the amount of work that can be done across a
link. Therefore, site planning should include the following best practices:
■ Use the shortest possible distance between remote sites.
■ Minimize the number of copy sets used.
■ Design a plan to add additional copy sets that will not impact normal data
traffic.
■ Consider additional controller pairs to effectively use available bandwidth.
