Last Friday Xlink released VMware Real-Time Replication Software also known as ProReplicator 3.0. Just take a look at the product description, it’s promising, doesn’t it?
Xlink proReplicator brings data replication to a whole new level, combining both real-time and scheduled data replication for all your mission critical servers. Whether you are concerned about virtual machine backup, database, email or web server continuous data protection (CDP) and disaster recovery, proReplicator will provide a consolidated solution for your enterprise. Data replication in proReplicator could be implemented either scheduled or in real-time, locally or remotely, over LAN or WAN.
Their website offers a full functioning trail, so I thought let’s give it a try and let’s find out if it does what it says. I downloaded the 35Mb and installed ProReplicatior in a virtual machine running Windows 2003.
What can I say, it works!!! The installation runs smoothly, and the configuration is straight forward. Create a primary master and a replica master, select what to replicate and that’s all. I selected real-time replication, before I knew it the Dell folder was replicated to the other virtual machine. There are lots of other features that I haven’t tried out yet but are worth looking at.
