Introduction
Simple, efficient, and scalable, EMC® Isilon® SynclQ™ data replication software provides data-intensive businesses with a multi-threaded, multi-site solution for reliable disaster protection.
Fast, reliable file-based replication All businesses want to protect themselves against unplanned outages and data loss.
The best practice is typically to create and keep copies of important data so it can always be recovered. There are many approaches to creating and maintaining data copies. The right approach depends on the criticality of the data to the business and its timeliness. In essence, how long the business can afford to be without it.
As the sheer amount of data requiring management grows, it puts considerable strain on a company's ability to protect its data. Backup windows shrink, bottlenecks emerge, and logical and physical divisions of data fragment data protection processes. The result is increasing risk to your data and growing complexity in managing it.
Isilon SynclQ offers powerful, flexible, and easy-to-manage asynchronous replication for collaboration, disaster recovery, business continuance, diskto- disk backup, and remote disk archiving. 
Designed for big data, SynclQ delivers unique, highly parallel replication performance that scales with the dataset. Every node in an Isilon cluster can send and receive data, so replication performance increases as your data store grows, since SyncIQ can take advantage of any available network bandwidth. Because both the source and the target can scale to multiple petabytes without fragmentation into multiple ivolumes or file systems, data replication starts simple and stays that way as the system scales to provide a solid foundation for disaster recovery.



A simple and intuitive web-based user interface allows you to easily organize SyncIQ replication job rates and priorities to match business continuance priorities. Typically, a SyncIQ recurring job would be put in place to protect the data required for each major recovery point objective in your disaster recovery plan. For example, you may choose to sync every 6 hours for customer data, every 2 days for HR data, and so on. You can also configure a directory, file system or even specific files for more or less frequent replication based on their business criticality. In addition, you can create remote archive copies of out-of-use data that needs to be retained so you can reclaim valuable capacity in your production system.
In addition to being easy-to-use and non-disruptive, SyncIQ uses as much or as little system resource and network bandwidth as you specify. With Isilon, you may also schedule sync jobs for off-peak hours.
