© Softmark Software Vs. Hardware Solutions No downtime – the data on the backup module is immediately available. Software solutions are very flexible - you can pick and choose individual files and directories. (A hardware solution is an all-or- nothing) It is easier to incorporate a software solution into DR operations procedures, management of the applications and rapid recovery. No hardware changes whatsoever; disks continue to be duplexed (hardware solutions require simplexing your disks) Software solutions are scalable – you can easily mirror from multiple systems into one; A-to-B, B-to-A; all at the same time. GUI HTML-based monitoring facilities. No performance impact on Production. Price / Performance
