Reliable Data Protection from NAKIVO
Resilient IT Infrastructure
Transmit data in real time to a secondary site, which can immediately take over the role of the production server in case the primary site experiences an outage.
Business Continuity and Data Availability
Maintain uptime, reduce the risk of data loss and ensure the availability of critical applications by creating a continuum of recovery points.
Risk-Free Data Migration
Securely move virtual machines and all their associated data to a new data center or a more suitable environment without jeopardizing the integrity of your data.
Recovery-Ready Replicas
Seamlessly integrate real-time replication into your automated disaster recovery workflows, verify recoverability and test if the failover time matches your RTO.

Ensure Data Availability with Real-Time Replication
Improve Your Recovery Objectives
In case your primary site is down, you can instantly turn on your replicas to maintain critical services and minimize downtime with the shortest RTOs. Choose a point-in-time replica from a series of increments as low as 1 second apart. With such a short RPO, you can restore workloads to the point in time just before the disruption.
Implement Robust Disaster Recovery
Integrate real-time replication in your Site Recovery tasks to ensure that your systems and applications are fully functional and can be recovered within the target recovery objectives. NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides built-in DR capabilities allowing you to automate and test failover workflows to instantly power on your replicas in case of a disruption or disaster.
Ensure Secure Data Transfer
Protect your replicated data with end-to-end AES-256 encryption. Prevent unauthorized access and ensure secure connections during transit to maintain data integrity and compliance.
Simplify Deployment and Configuration
Streamline setup with intuitive wizards that automate key steps in the replication process. The NAKIVO solution installs IO filters and journal services automatically, minimizing manual intervention and speeding up implementation.

FAQ
What is data replication?
Data replication simply means making an exact copy of a machine or data. The copy is stored in the same location as the source or in a remote data center. Replication provides tighter recovery time objectives (RTOs) when compared to backups.
With real-time (asynchronous) replication, you can minimize recovery point objectives (RPOs) and RTOs, as data is continuously copied, modified or deleted in the replica based on the changes in the source machine.
In other words, data replication allows you to minimize downtime and data loss in case of a disruptive event.
What are the different types of replication?
There are several types of data replication, mainly:
- Synchronous replication: All changes applied on the source machine are simultaneously implemented on the target VM. You cannot make new changes on the source VM before applying all previous ones on both the source and target machines.
- Asynchronous replication: Changes you make on the source VM are saved locally and transferred to the target machine gradually within the provided RPO (1 second to 1 hour).
Other types of replication are full/partial replication, transactional replication, snapshot replication and merge replication.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication performs asynchronous real-time replication, allowing you to set your preferred recovery objectives.

What VMware versions are supported?
You can create real-time replicas of VMs deployed on VMware ESXi v7.0, v8.0, and v8.0 Update 2 and 3. For earlier versions, you can create incremental app-aware VMware replicas and configure replication to run as often as every minute to reach the tightest Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
