| Druvaa Replicator is next generation enterprise class product for near-synchronously and non-disruptively replicating production data to a secondary storage. It can replicate block level data from logical volumes in real time and continuously across heterogeneous operating environments (storage, applications and operating system) and over unlimitted distances using IP network. |

1. What is the difference between Initial Synchronization and replication?
With respect to Druvaa Replicator, synchronization refers to initial data on source being migrated to target using network or media. Replication refers to new data written on source mirrored to target using network.
2. What applications does Replicator Support ?
Druvaa Replicator replicates whole volumes just like RAID. Anything which goes to disk is replicated, which makes replicator work independent of applications.
3. Is Druvaa Replicator dependent on type of file-system or volume manager ?
No. Druvaa Replicator replicates raw volumes and doesn't depend on type of file-system or volume.
4. Is the target volume locked during replication ?
Yes. The target volume is locked, Druvaa Replicator allows instant writable snapshots to read the replicated data.
5. Does Replicator provide any WAN Optimizations ?
Yes. Caching server provides data caching, compression, encryption and latency management for WAN based replication. This helps in better WAN performance and reduced server load.
5. Do I need Caching server in my setup ?
Only if you are replicating over WAN. Caching server offloads the job of WAN optimization and encryption from the production server and boosts performance over WAN. Multiple servers can use single caching server for boosting performance.
