Hi to ALL

First of all I would like to inform you that we are running on Informix9.4
FC6 and at the end of this year we are planning to move to Informix 10
(latest version).

A few day ago BULL company present to as the Recovery Point of EMC

What I would like to know, because is a new item (let say) , a new
philosophy and a field that we DON'T know concerning the Recovery Point

if there is anyone that use this (Recovery Point) with Informix IDS or at
least have the knowledge to advise as if it support Informix IDS ???????

A piece of information about this Recovery Point

* RecoverPoint (for the broader enterprise)

- Continuous data protection (CDP) between LUNs on the same SAN

- Continuous remote replication (CRR) between LUNs across two SANs

- Concurrent local and remote (CLR) data protection between LUNs
across two SANs

- Heterogeneous operating system and storage array support

- Integrated with intelligent fabric from Brocade and Cisco

* RecoverPoint/SE (for EMC CLARiiON and Windows)

- CDP between LUNs in the same CLARiiON array in the same SAN

- CRR between LUNs in two CLARiiON arrays, one in each SAN

- CLR data protection between LUNs in the same CLARiiON array or
between two CLARiiON arrays in two SANs

- Supports Microsoft Windows only; no fabric integration; supports
CLARiiON array-based splitting for heterogeneous hosts

* Common functionality

- Local CDP at a block level

- Remote asynchronous replication (CRR) at a block level

- Changes journaled to maximize the number of recovery points

- Virtual and physical recovery modes optimize recovery time

- Application-state integration for intelligent recovery using
bookmarks

- Dependent write-order consistency is maintained locally and
remotely

* RecoverPoint splitter drivers

- Intercepts server writes (block level)

- Resides on host, CLARiiON or in fabric

- Mirrors write to RecoverPoint appliance

* RecoverPoint appliance

- Manages and prioritizes resources

- Compresses data for WAN transfer

- Distributes changes to remote site

- Manages recovery processes

- Supports instant access to protected data

- Distributes replicated data to Journal

* Journal

- Tracks all data changes to every protected LUN

- Utilizes bookmarks for application-aware recovery

- Repository for live data updates

- Provisioned from existing SAN LUNs

- Dynamically compressed, which saves storage

* Provides advanced functionality

- Policy-based bandwidth management

- 3-10x data compression

- Lowers cost of IP infrastructure

* Supports heterogeneous environments

- Works with EMC and third-party storage

- True any-to-any volume replication
