Been to the IBM Partner class.
It's a fairly simple replication system that is (currently) partially
integrated with TSM, with more complete integration to come with later
releases.
It allows for bandwidth throttling, and has a CDP (constant data
protection) component for (more or less) real-time updating of data
between replicator and replicant.
