You're gonna *love* SnapMirror & SnapRestore!

Already seen it, it does -not- match up to what EMC can do for us for remote DR service.
A possible 2 minute outage in data-flow is a literal million dollar question for us.
Your DR solution should PUSH data out constantly, not request it remotely every 60 seconds, then if a snapcopy fails for that period, it gets thrown away on the remote side...two lost minutes of data.
Thats is at a minimum FOUR lost billing cycles on our ATM/IP/Voice network...and in our environment an incomplete billing cycle is non-billable.
I belive the continuous real-time transfer of data from the main site to the remote site would be a solution that we could live with in the future.
