Israel-based Axxana used Storage Networking World as a platform to introduce its unique Enterprise Data Recording (EDR) technology. This is claimed to be the first-ever solution to offer zero data-loss disaster recovery, over any geographical distance. Axxana's first EDR system combines the data-recovery certainties of synchronous replication with the distance and cost advantages of asynchronous replication.

Innovation around enterprise data protection has historically focused on removing data from the primary location as quickly and as completely as possible for remote safekeeping. Axxana's novel approach is the first to view data removal alone as expensive and inherently incomplete. Instead, enabled by an advanced collection of highly ruggedized storage, electronics, and materials technologies, Axxana's EDR actually brings the data ‘through the disaster,’ ensuring the full survivability of otherwise lost data within the enterprise site itself.

The result is rapid post-disaster application recovery, with no data loss whatsoever. The technology also expands the scenarios under which synchronous replication protects data, such as an on-site communication link failure or regional disaster.

"Axxana is the only vendor to blend the full data-recovery advantages of synchronous data replication with the distance and cost advantages of asynchronous data replication," said Eli Efrat, Axxana's chief executive officer. "This is a game-changing concept in disaster recovery, and we invite storage vendors and enterprises to join with us and explore the full potential of this technology."
