RecoverPoint and the Cisco SANTap service can be deployed as a high-availability solution for
mission-critical deployments. The Cisco SANTap service can be used in conjunction with multi-
pathing and redundant fabric deployments, even where initiators (hosts) are performing active-to-
active multi-pathing.
Summary
The Cisco MDS 9000 Family SSM coupled with the EMC RecoverPoint intelligent data protection
technology creates a superior data protection solution for the heterogeneous enterprise that offers
exceptional functions, manageability, flexibility, and performance. The Cisco SSM provides a Cisco
MDS 9000 Family SANTap protocol interface that allows RecoverPoint to protect and replicate
data in heterogeneous storage and server environments across any distance, with no effect on the
primary I/O path or applications and without any host footprint. No rewiring, reconfiguration, or host
software installation is required. Because the RecoverPoint solution with the Cisco SSM card and
Cisco SANTap is out-of-band, it replicates data with no additional latency or disruption of
the customer’s primary I/O processing.
