EchoStream for AIX
EchoStream for AIX is a continuous data protection and disaster recovery solution that rapidly recovers applications and data at the push of a button. Unlike traditional backup solutions, you can recover data from any point in time – not just at the point of failure – easily and immediately. EchoStream can be used individually or in conjunction with a clustering solution such as EchoCluster or IBM’s HACMP solution.

iTERA Vault
ITERA Vault is an extremely affordable solution for improving data recovery for IBM i customers.  Vault lets you recover more data than using tapes alone, potentially right up to the point of failure. Plus, it can eliminate the downtime associated with tape saves, while providing potent CDP capabilities that enable you to rapidly recover recently corrupted or deleted data.  

iTera HA for i5/OS
iTERA HA for IBM i is a highly autonomic, full-featured high availability solution that is simple to use and easy on your budget, putting nonstop business continuity well within your grasp.  Using the most efficient IBM i replication method, iTERA HA maintains a complete, accurate backup of your data and applications. It then stands ready to switch users to that backup whenever the primary system becomes unavailable or you need to perform system maintenance, allowing you to eliminate the threat that disasters and regular maintenance pose to business continuity.

Reduce Disk Use and Improve Performance, Without Downtime

Vision Director

Vision Director is an advanced systems management tool for IBM i that proactively monitors, manages and optimizes IBM i servers, databases and application environments. Director automatically gathers information, analyzes it and then makes recommendations and takes action to maintain a highly optimized IBM i environment.  A key benefit of Vision Director is that it continuously cleans and optimizes DASD, often freeing 20% upon initial installation. Other Director benefits include maximizing operator time, automated reporting to meet SLA agreements, and leveraging advanced systems knowledge without adding additional personnel.

MIMIX HA for i5/OS
Built for the most demanding enterprises using IBM’s i operating system, MIMIX HA protects business continuity by virtually eliminating planned and unplanned IT downtime. With innovative features that minimize administration and ensure data integrity, MIMIX HA replicates your production i environment to a backup server in real-time with zero data loss. This hot-standby server can be used for disaster recovery or to take over when you need to perform maintenance on the primary server.

Breakthrough Data Recovery for IBM AIX Environments
For AIX IT departments looking to take the next step in data protection strategies, CDP is an essential consideration. Analysts agree that businesses will be incorporating this strategy in the next few years as part of an integrated solution. CDP enables you to reverse data corruption in a fraction of the time and labor required for recovery from tape. It doesn’t require planned downtime for backups and recovers data instantly at the push of a button. Whether as a standalone solution or integrated into an HA solution, CDP provides the easiest, most effective protection against the loss of critical data.

An Introduction to System i High Availability
This paper presents an overview of iSeries high availability to companies that are beginning to explore this powerful business continuity technology. The critical components of high availability solutions are detailed in this paper, including data replication engines, system monitors, role swap capabilities, and the importance of autonomic processes. Also provided is information on the cost of planned and unplanned downtime, and a brief overview of disaster recovery strategies.
