Which feature of PowerStore offers redundancy in storage?

Synchronous replication is a crucial feature in PowerStore that provides redundancy in storage. This feature allows data to be simultaneously copied to a secondary location, ensuring that in the event of a failure at the primary site, the data remains safe and accessible at the secondary site. By maintaining an up-to-date replica of the data in real-time, synchronous replication helps protect against data loss due to hardware failures, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events.

This redundancy enhances data availability and enables business continuity, as operations can continue using the replicated data almost seamlessly. In environments where data integrity and availability are critical, synchronous replication stands out as an essential mechanism for safeguarding storage.

Other options, while relevant to data management, do not specifically address redundancy. Backup only refers to creating copies of data at a specific point in time without real-time replication. Data compression focuses on reducing storage space by compressing files rather than ensuring redundancy. Data archiving involves moving infrequently accessed data to a separate storage system but does not provide redundancy in live data operations.
