Data Migration / Replication
SnapMirror
SnapMirror Data Replication
SnapMirror is a feature of ONTAP that delivers high-speed, efficient, and secure data transport for enhanced site-to-site failover and disaster recovery. You get efficient, array-based replication for backup and disaster recovery across the data fabric.
An effective disaster recovery (DR) solution protects data against system failures, power failures, and site failures. You can boost cost efficiency and get maximum return on your investment if that solution can also reduce costs and let you use your DR facility for business intelligence. Such cost efficiency makes it easier to provide DR for more of your data. Although backups can help you recover lost data from an archival medium such as tape, disk, or the cloud, mirroring is the most popular data availability mechanism for business continuity and disaster recovery, especially if you would like to minimize downtime.
NetApp® SnapMirror® is disaster recovery technology, designed for failover from primary storage to secondary storage at a geographically remote site. SnapMirror replicates data at high speeds over LAN or WAN, so you get high data availability and fast data replication for your business-critical applications, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle, in both virtual and traditional environments. And when you replicate data to one or more NetApp storage systems and continually update the secondary data, your data is kept current and remains available whenever you need it. No external replication servers are required.

Maximize Uptime and Accelerate Your Business with NetApp SnapMirror
You can increase availability and speed disaster recovery with NetApp SnapMirror software. SnapMirror is a cost-effective, multipurpose solution that replicates data at high speeds over LAN or WAN. It provides you with rapid recovery for your business-critical applications and data migration, in both virtual and traditional environments. SnapMirror is used by more than 13,000 businesses around the globe, protecting more than 669 petabytes of used data using asynchronous replication.
With SnapMirror, you can:
- Keep your business running
- Lower your TCO
- Increase efficiency
Keep Your Business Running in the Event of a Disaster
SnapMirror speeds data replication, enabling you to complete transfers more frequently and lower recovery point objectives. SnapMirror also speeds recovery, so users can be reconnected to the most current data and get back to business more quickly after a catastrophic failure or disaster. You can:
- Easily manage replication between storage endpoints, from flash to disk to cloud
- Transport data seamlessly and efficiently between NetApp storage systems to support both backup and disaster recovery with the same target volume and I/O stream
- Failover to any secondary volume
- Recover from any point-in-time NetApp Snapshot™ copy on the secondary storage
- Safeguard your most critical workloads with available zero-data–loss synchronous replication (RPO=0)
“NetApp [SnapMirror] takes care of automating replication and recovery processes…Should we ever experience a site disaster, in a matter of minutes we can be up and running at the DR facility. And it costs us about 50% less than before.”
-Dale Martinson, Manager of Systems and Security, DCI
Lower TCO and Boost ROI
SnapMirror can help reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 60%. Since data is stored natively, with features such as NetApp FlexClone® technology, you can create near-instantaneous, space-efficient copies of data on your secondary or tertiary storage. You can use these copies for multiple business functions without any negative effect on your production system.
You can use SnapMirror as a single replication tool across your entire NetApp ONTAP® clusters. Deploy SnapMirror in minutes and integrate it with Active IQ Unified Manager to automate ongoing replication and management tasks, further simplifying and reducing administrative workloads.
“With the common operating system across all controller heads, our storage system is easier to manage than other systems of the same size. With NetApp®, we deliver 100% uptime.”
-Mark Tuttle, Senior Manager of Engineering, AutoTrader.com
Increase Efficiency
Thin replication and native network compression reduce bandwidth utilization and reduce secondary storage requirements for backup and disaster recovery. With SnapMirror software, you can leverage one thin replication data stream to create a single repository that maintains both the active mirror and prior point-in-time copies, reducing network traffic by up to 50%.
“With NetApp, we were able to avoid $150,000 to $200,000 in infrastructure costs because we didn’t have to install a Fibre Channel storage network at our secondary site.”
-Whitney Kuszmaul, Network Manager, Cleveland Indians
Cloud Sync
Cloud Sync Service: Smooth and Secure Data Synchronization
Cloud Sync service is an easy-to-use cloud replication and synchronization service for transferring files between on-premises NFS or CIFS file shares, Amazon S3 object format, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, IBM Cloud Object Storage, Cloud Volumes Service, Azure NetApp Files, or NetApp StorageGRID®. Cloud Sync quickly and securely moves the files to where you need them.
Transferring data between disparate platforms and maintaining synchronization can be challenging for IT. Moving from legacy systems to new technology, server consolidation, and cloud migration, require large amounts of data to be moved between different domains, technologies, and data formats. Existing methods such as relying on simplistic copy tools or homegrown scripts—that must be created, managed, and maintained—may be unreliable or not robust enough, and can fail to address challenges such as:
- Getting a dataset to the new target effectively and securely
- Transforming data to the new format and structure
- Having a timeframe and keeping data up to date
- Managing the cost of the process
- Validating migrated data consistently and completely
Cloud Sync gives you the ability to:
- Migrate data incrementally to and from NFS, CIFS, Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, Azure Blob storage, Google Cloud Storage, Cloud Volumes Service, Azure NetApp Files, NetApp StorageGRID Webscale appliance, or any other cloud provider object store
- Consolidate data from multiple systems into a single repository
- Facilitate greater collaboration between data personnel
- Move workloads to the cloud strategically
- Tier data to capacity storage to free up space in performance tier systems
- Archive data for compliance or regulatory purposes
- Use AWS Azure or Google Cloud for long-term data management or access by other cloud services, such as data analytics
Cloud Sync provides multiple advantages for your business:
- Quick, simple, and easy to operate
- Safe and secure
- Smooth integration
- Cost effective
