l When the production center (A) encounters a disaster, the intra-city DR center (B) takes
over services immediately and recovers data. If the secondary disaster damages the intra-
city DR center (B), data in the remote DR center (C) is available.
Figure 1-10 shows the cascaded 3DC in asynchronous + asynchronous mode.

The cascaded 3DC in asynchronous + asynchronous mode meets the following service
requirements:
l Real-time backup and remote backup of data achieve robust reliability of critical service
data and ensure that critical service data has two copies.
l The cascaded 3DC has minor impact on the performance of the storage system in the
production center and does not affect host services.
l When a disaster occurs at the production center (A), the intra-city DR center (B) takes
over services immediately and recovers data. If the disaster also affects the intra-city DR
center (B), data in the remote DR center (C) is still available.
Figure 1-11 shows the parallel 3DC configuration in synchronous + asynchronous mode.
