Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for accessing and managing business data stored in a POS system through a mobile device. The method enables a remote user to access and manage the business data present on the POS system in real time and effectively manage a store. The business data is provided to the user based on ad-hoc requests or automatic data feeds. The method includes receiving a request for the business data from the mobile device and converting the request to a first format, retrieving the requested business data from the POS system according to predefined rules and policies, converting the retrieved data to a second format, and transmitting the converted business data to the mobile device. The invention also includes providing the business data automatically to the mobile device based on predefined rules and policies.

Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments are provided for the replication of data from virtual logical units to remote virtual logical units. Change logs can be provided at a primary storage switch including a primary VLU to indicate changes made to the primary VLU between replications. The change log can also be used to resynchronize a member split from the primary VLU during a replication operation. Members can be split from the primary VLU and used in a split virtual logical unit at the primary VLU for replication. The remaining member(s) of the primary VLU can be used to maintain the primary VLU online for host devices during the replication operation. A remote VLU at a remote storage switch can be exported as a physical logical unit to the primary storage switch where it is provisioned for a member of a replication VLU at the primary storage switch.
