The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter contains the following sections:
EMC RecoverPoint protects storage array logical unit numbers (LUNs) and provides concurrent local and remote data replication. RecoverPoint also provides continuous data protection for operational and disaster recovery by enabling any point-in-time recovery (PITR) for diversified storage environments both within and across pods.
RecoverPoint secures data by providing synchronous and asynchronous replication across heterogeneous arrays for block-based storage protocols. Replication improves reliability, fault-tolerance, and accessibility to data. If data becomes compromised or lost, you can look at data back in time and recover it by extending the vCenter VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) functionality with any PITR capabilities.
Enable continuous data protection for any PITR to optimize the recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO).
Ensure recovery consistency for inter-dependent applications.
Provide synchronous or asynchronous replication policies.
Reduce WAN bandwidth consumption and utilize available bandwidth optimally.
Consistency groups that ensure that there is application-dependent write consistency of application data on VPLEX distributed virtual volumes within the VPLEX system in the event of a disaster.
Consistency group copies of the initial consistency groups.
Replication sets that consist of a production source volume and its local or local and remote replica volumes. One or more replication sets makes up a consistency group.
