Cascaded SRDF

Cascaded SRDF provides a zero data loss solution at long distances if the primary site is lost.

In a cascaded SRDF configuration, data from a primary (R1) site is synchronously mirrored to a secondary (R21) site. Then the data is asynchronously mirrored from the secondary (R21) site to a tertiary (R2) site.

Cascaded SRDF provides:
  • Fast recovery times at the tertiary site
  • Tight integration with the TimeFinder product family
  • Geographically dispersed secondary and tertiary sites

If the primary site fails, cascaded SRDF can continue mirroring, with minimal user intervention, from the secondary site to the tertiary site. This enables a faster recovery at the tertiary site.

Both the secondary and the tertiary site can be failover sites. Open systems solutions typically fail over to the tertiary site.
