Darth, Then why use asynchronous remote copy software and skip just about all of the performance hit?
The ONLY reason for using Synchronous remote copy is when you need zero data loss on the remote side, which is not your requirement. Note that zero data loss with synchronous remote copy does not occur by default. Most synchronous remote copy sites only provide "near zero" data loss, which always makes me wonder what the point of synchronous is in the first place.
