Sizing a cyber vault requires understanding how much data that will need to be restored in a given Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Many factors play into properly designing a right sized cyber vault solution.

Sizing considerations

  1. What are the source platform models (FAS v AFF A-Series v AFF C-Series)?

  2. What is the bandwidth and latency between the source and cyber vault?

  3. How large are the file sizes and how many files?

  4. What is your recovery time objective?

  5. How much data do you need to be recovered within the RTO?

  6. How many SnapMirror fan-in relationships will the cyber vault be ingesting?

  7. Will there be single or multiple recoveries happening at the same time?

  8. Will those multiple recoveries be happening to the same primary?

  9. Will SnapMirror be replicating to the vault during a recovery from a vault?
