19 Dell EMC Model# (PS-BAS-RPUNI) Description Recoverpoint Implementation for Unified QuickStart

Description

The Dell EMC Recoverpoint Implementation for Unified QuickStart implements Recoverpoint concurrent local and remote data protection (CLR), providing synchronous or asynchronous replication.

Dell EMC installs two Recoverpoint Appliances (RPAs) into the data center infrastructure using VNX array-based splitters, which create replicas of databases and file systems on supported systems. Dell EMC VNX splitters are supported as an array-based splitter on one storage array.

This service can be sold in multiples depending on the customer need: • A single service can cover a Recoverpoint local replication deployment • Two services can cover a Recoverpoint local and remote replication deployment • Two services can cover a Recoverpoint remote replication deployment
