RecoverPoint uses lightweight write splitting technology, on the application server, in the fabric, or in the array, to mirror application writes to the RecoverPoint cluster. VMAXe and VNX arrays have integrated RecoverPoint splitters that operate in each front-end adapter (FA) - this ensures that the RPA receives a copy of each write. The array-based splitter is the most effective write splitter for VMware replication, enabling replication of VMFS and RDM volumes without the cost or complexity of additional hardware. The splitter supports both FC and iSCSI volumes presented by the VMAXe or VNX arrays to any host, including to an ESX server.
