EMC RecoverPoint-Hardware Awareness (Bit I)

Here is a quick rundown of what shells the idea of an RPA or RecoverPoint appliance. Under the covers its nothing more than a Dell 1950 (BTW, EOL’d Q2 2008). Corresponding to the 2.4 and the 3.0 release there exists two generations of the RPA’s easily recognizable by the HBA’s in use, Gen1 2Gb HBA’s, [...]
