Advantages of Echostream
• Addresses the three biggest pain points in data protection– Backup Window Reduction, RPO, RTO
• Capable of creating a read/write snapshot of production data from any point in time– Easy testing against current production data
– Improved quality as software patches, upgrades are rolled out
– Offload report generation processes
– Perform Virtual Role Swap
• Advanced data recovery capabilities– Pick the recovery point after the problem occurs, not before it

• Data Tap on Source Server captures changes– Writes to local buffer occur
synchronously…
– …then are asynchronously transferred to the target server
• Replicates only changes to production data
• Contexts used to maintain write order consistency
• Recovery Storage can be any heterogeneous storage

1. EchoStream replicates the production server’s data
Replicates changes onlyCompressed to minimize bandwidth requirementsOrdered by time sequence to maintain data consistencyStorage can be heterogeneous
2. Prior to the Recovery Server overwriting data, the information is saved in an “undo” log
3. Recover the application’s data by selecting
Recovery point (Time)Rewind Production Data or Create a TimeView on the Recovery Server
4. TimeView™ is read/write enabledCan be used for more than just data recoveryWhile TimeView is in use, data protection continues
