Intel Pentium III processor).

Description
===========
Data Replication Manager (DRM) provides a disaster-tolerant (DT) solution
through the use of hardware redundancy and data replication across multiple
sites separated by some distance.
A Data Replication Manager configuration consists of multiple sites. The
initiator site carries out primary data processing. Target sites are used
for data replication. Since data processing occurs at the initiator site,
the data is replicated or mirrored to the target sites. If a significant
failure happens to the initiator site, data processing can be resumed at the
target sites, where the data is intact.
The DRM sites are connected over some distance via fiber optic cable or ATM.
Data Replication Manager uses Fibre Channel gigabit switches to send the
data between the sites. If sites are too distant to communicate via Fibre
Channel, other hardware may be inserted between the sites.
