14.7. Using CDP to Simplify Recovery and Reduce Costs

If the CDP solution can also replicate data, then it can even replace arraybased data replication or shipping tape offsite, simplifying the datacenter even more.

CDP solutions that also replicate data can be a boon to many IT administrators because you can use the same solution not only for backup but also for disaster recovery. Since every write is protected in the journal, every write can also be replicated to an off-site location for recovery. This capability can provide complete disaster tolerance for mission-critical applications and enable a more cost-effective solution for disaster recovery compared to traditional methods.
