Real Time File Replication & Mirroring System FRMS™ replicates between any major IDAS platforms to eliminate vendor-specific storage limitations. For example, using FRMS™, customers can replicate between a single vendor’s alike IDAS, between a single vendor’s dissimilar IDAS, or between two different vendors’ IDAS.   FRMS®

Innovative Automation’s File Replication and Mirroring System (FRMS™) server extends the capabilities of a traditional IDAS (Instrument Data Acquisition System)
to include real time data replication and remote mirroring capabilities.  FRMS™ empowers scientists and knowledge workers with a powerful new way to backup, share, and collaborate regulated and controlled information -- raw instrument acquisition data. For QA (Quality Assurance) and RCV (Regulatory Compliance and Validation) managers, FRMS™ server's replication and remote mirroring technologies can dramatically speed recovery time to eliminate data loss by making current data available immediately at an alternate location.

Organizations can replicate or mirror IDAS information via a storage area network (SAN) or over any IP (internet protocol) network in order to meet their disaster recovery needs by combining the ability to easily create a remote or local corporate or departmental backup storage repository.

By automating the process of replication and/or mirroring, complete with electronic signature and embedded version control, FRMS™ helps companies bring products and services to market faster and with greater confidence. FRMS™ replication and remote mirroring technologies offer a heterogeneous, cost-effective, and flexible approach that ensures data integrity, regulatory compliance and application availability.

Finally, IDAS information will successfully sustain the rigors of any inspection, including inspections from international regulatory bodies.  FRMS™ ensures authenticity and integrity of all IDAS data acquired, within its repository via a system of user identification, audit trail, e-signature, encryption and a unique XML based meta data storage repository.
