SANStor Storage Appliance is an ideal platform for SAN-aware Storage Applications such as Remote Mirroring, Snapshot and others and a key enabler for enterprise disaster recovery strategies.



SANStor Snapshot Copy™ enables the creation of multiple Read/Write point-in-time copies of volumes, and can retain the copies independently and separately from the original volume. SANStor Snapshot Copy creates "views" that can be used to make data available to any host for any purpose such as decision support, testing or direct-connect backup while production data continues to be updated uninterrupted.

SANStor™ Volume Copy is an innovative copy facility that enables the creation of multiple physical copies of volumes, regardless of storage subsystems and SAN components. Each copy is independently accessible and instantly available, allowing production servers to access data while the copy operation is in process. SANStor Volume Copy enables the copying and re-purposing of information, while leaving production servers available for productive work and uninvolved in data movement. SANStor Volume Copy eliminates information and storage systems' bottlenecks, while enabling a variety of High Availability (HA) and high-performance capabilities such as LAN-free and Server-free Backup

SANStor™ Mirror Copy is an enterprise-class disaster recovery and data movement facility implemented in conjunction with IMPEX SANStor Storage Appliance. Designed as a vendor-independent solution, SANStor Mirror Copy continuously mirrors data independently of the operating systems or storage subsystems in use. This "any-to-any" data mirroring capability ties together storage devices from different vendors into an extremely cost-effective disaster recovery solution, providing vital business continuity capabilities that minimize the impact of both planned and unplanned system downtime while ensuring 24x7 access to your data. And, by supporting both distributed synchronous and network-based asynchronous mirroring, allows different modes of mirroring based on different application and business requirements.


Today’s always-on business environment demands immediate resource for server crashes, hard disk malfunctions, cable pulls and storage array failures. But proprietary boxes that offer even some protection are phenomenally cost-prohibitive.

Combine disaster scenarios with the everyday challenges of storage management, and even the most robust disaster recovery systems are only as good as their storage networks are well planned.
