Pivot3 Acuity is capable of protecting individual volumes and groups of volumes by using a-synchronous remote replication techniques.

Once protection has been set up for a volume, Pivot3 Acuity periodically takes a replication snapshot of storage volume on the local cluster and replicates (copies) the snapshot to the paired remote cluster. In the event of a disaster at the local cluster, the most recently replicated snapshot of each protected volume is recovered at the remote cluster.

Optionally Pivot3 Acuity can quiesce the virtual machines through VMware vCenter integration before taking the replication snapshot.
