The innovative replication stack found in StorTrends iTX offers unprecedented performance for
remote replication over wide-area networks. It utilizes an intelligent mix of standards-based
transport protocols to overcome the inefficiencies and high latencies of TCP protocols in WANs
and provide excellent bandwidth utilization. Additional performance gains are made through data
reduction technologies such as compression and data deduplication. The TCP protocol, optimized
for LAN and SAN environments, is utilized for serving front-end I/Os and for synchronous
replication operations, to greatly improve and increase data transfer speed, approaching the
theoretical maximum of the connection speed.
