NOTE:
In addition to the deduplication-enabled replication licensing for VLS here are
other key considerations:
All VLS systems involved with replication (whether a source or target) must all be
licensed for Accelerated deduplication. In addition they have the same HW
requirements and considerations as for Accelerated deduplication (see above).
Minimum of VLS firmware level 3.2 must be used to support deduplication-
enabled replication. This replication firmware will be included in the 3.2 release
and can be activated through licensing.
Four modes of deduplication-enabled replication will be supported including:
two-site active-passive (replication in one direction), two-site active-active
(replication in both directions) many to one supporting up to four sites all
replicating to a fifth site and N-way with four sites (similar to two-site active-
active). Each site is a source and target.
C&I services will provide analysis, design, implementation and testing necessary
to deploy a VLS solution with Accelerated deduplication and deduplication-
enabled replication.
