A well-designed, well-implemented set of HA and DR technologies will protect an organization against equipment failures, utility interruptions, and natural disasters.
 Written by Chris Thomas
Editor's Note: This article is based on "Next-Generation Disaster Recovery and Availability Technologies for IBM Power Systems," a free white paper downloadable from the MC Press White Paper Center.
The High Availability/Disaster Recovery solution spectrum requires that you consider a technology's ability to protect data and keep operations online or bring them back online quickly. Each class of HA/DR technology exhibits different operating characteristics, providing a distinct range of data protection and downtime avoidance.

Value-based DR lies in the space between tape and HA for small and mid-size organizations.
 by Jim Kandrac
We are in the midst of a business cycle where many IT shops are realigning their priorities. The conversation has shifted to conservation, and technologies that facilitate efficiency are coming to the forefront. Virtual storage and electronic vaulting are fast becoming preferred ways of increasing storage capacity and improving disaster recovery capabilities while simultaneously keeping operating costs level.

Superman and the Green Hornet didn't get slick nicknames by being just average.
 By Greg Hintermeister
In this modern work climate, it's important to be really good at what you do. If you can become an expert in a technical area that everybody depends on, your peers and management will see you as a critical asset. When crisis moments happen, any opportunity to quickly resolve them and be viewed as a hero is a good thing, not only for job retention but also personal satisfaction.
One personal side effect of becoming an expert in a technical area is that you tend to be given a nickname.

i5/OS V5R4 and IBM i 6.1 now provide many great backup and recovery enhancements to make your job easier.  By Debbie Saugen There are many new and exciting backup and recovery enhancements with i5/OS V5R4 and IBM i 6.1. One of the key highlights for V5R4 is the capability of saving and restoring using Integrated Virtual Tape. i5/OS Virtual Tape support is unique to i5/OS. It makes use of the disk on the system and does not require a separate hardware device as with other Virtual Tape Library support. i5/OS Virtual Tape support offers a save and restore alternative to the current i5/OS save file support. Software encryption for backups using Backup Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) is a key highlight for IBM i 6.1. Moving backup media offsite for safekeeping incurs the risk of losing media during transport, making encryption of sensitive data an essential safeguard. |

The need for HA is no laughing matter in the current economic climate. Check out your HA software options for the System i.  By John Ghrist Keeping your System i servers processing 100 percent of the time was, for many years, not considered a serious requirement for any but the largest of companies. The intrinsic reliability of the System i and its predecessors was good enough for most SMBs, which relied on the platform to handle processing during normal business hours. Add to that the cumbersome implementation of early high availability (HA) systems for the platform in the late '90s and into the current decade, and you had a market situation such that, for the majority of System i shops, HA was either a luxury most enterprises had no room for in their IT budgets or the potential makings of a standup comedy routine at a company party. |

In a tightening economy, it's more critical than ever to protect one of the most important assets a company has: its data.  By Peter Briggs Editor's Note: This article is based on SafeData's white paper titled "High Stakes of Data Availability: An Executive Guide to IBM iSeries Recovery Options," which is downloadable for free from the MC White Paper Center. Today, companies rely on their IT systems more than ever. As business processing grows to accommodate worldwide users and Web traffic, applications need to be available and reliable. Surprisingly, most companies, particularly smaller businesses, have significant risk in both their systems availability and their recovery capabilities. With all of the sophisticated technologies available on the market today, why are companies taking unnecessary risks? |
