Overview
HP StorageWorks XP for Compatible Extended Remote Copy (XRC) Software provides disaster protection and data migration capability for data stored on an HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array by implementing IBM mainframe compatible asynchronous remote replication. XRC provides the same functionality as IBM Extended Remote Copy (now called IBM TotalStorage z/OS Global Mirror), and is compatible with System Data Mover (SDM) mainframe software. When data is written to the local XP disk array, XRC temporarily stores a timestamped copy of it in a sidefile. SDM in one of the mainframe hosts asynchronously reads the sidefile data from the local XP disk array and then writes the data to the remote disk array.

XRC can be combined with other XP disk array replication products for additional availability. When combined with Hitachi TrueCopy for Mainframe, XRC supports 3 Data Center disaster recovery solutions. In addition, XRC can be used with Hitachi ShadowImage for Mainframe or HP StorageWorks XP for FlashCopy Mirroring to maintain multiple copies of important data at the local and remote sites.

Features and Benefits
  • Value – disk array data protection tightly integrated with mainframe functionality: Designed with the functionality of IBM Extended Remote Copy and compatible with System Data Mover, HP StorageWorks XP for Compatible Extended Remote Copy (XRC) Software provides the business continuity capability of asynchronous remote copy for HP StorageWorks XP Disk Arrays in the mainframe environment.
