Abstract
Creating a replica of a storage system, including: receiving, by a first storage system from a computing device, data to be stored on the first storage system; reducing, by the first storage system, the data using one or more data reduction techniques; sending, from the first storage system to the second storage system, the reduced data, wherein the reduced data is encrypted; and sending, from the second storage system to a third storage system, the reduced data, wherein the reduced data is encrypted.
Claims20
A method of creating a replica of a storage system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first storage system from a computing device, data to be stored on the first storage system;
- reducing, by the first storage system, the data using one or more data reduction techniques;
- sending, from the first storage system to the second storage system, the reduced data, wherein the reduced data is encrypted;
- and
- sending, from the second storage system to a third storage system, the reduced data, wherein the reduced data is encrypted.
A method of creating a replica of a storage system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first storage system from a computing device, data to be stored on the first storage system;
- sending, from the first storage system to the second storage system, the data, wherein the data is reduced by the first storage system and the reduced data is encrypted;
- and
- sending, from the second storage system to a third storage system, the reduced data, wherein the reduced data is encrypted.
A computer program product for creating a replica of a storage system, the computer program product including a non-transitory computer readable medium that includes computer program instructions that, when executed, carry out the steps of:
- detecting that a first storage system has become unavailable;
- identifying a second storage system that contains data that was stored on the first storage system;
- identifying a replacement storage system;
- and
- instructing the second storage system to send, to the replacement storage system, the data that was stored on the first storage system, wherein the data that is sent to the replacement storage system is encrypted.
