Abstract
A mirroring device includes an interface capable of coupling a primary storage array and a secondary storage array to a network. The interface further includes a logic that monitors traffic for a network packet destined for the primary storage array and selectively identifies a storage array write operation and associated data in the network packet, constructs a network packet targeted to the secondary storage array, and transmits the packet to the primary storage array and the secondary storage array.
