Vision Solutions: New Whitepaper Compares Spectrum of Disaster Recovery Options for IBM i and AIX

Vision Solutions, a disaster recovery and data management solutions provider in IBM Power Systems market, has announced a new white paper providing an overview of data protection and recovery strategies for IBM Power i and AIX environments.

The 29-page paper, "Next-Generation Disaster Recovery and Availability Technologies for IBM Power Systems," covers the spectrum of resilience and recovery technologies to help managers of IBM i (i5/OS) and AIX environments view and compare all available options in one place -- including next-generation technologies such as continuous data protection (CDP), automated journal recovery and IASP, according to a release.

"Our endeavor here is not only to give IT managers and operators of IBM i and AIX environments a single source for comparing protection and recovery technologies, but most importantly, to outline how each of these stack up against each other in terms of recovery time and recovery point," says Vision Solutions' Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Alan Arnold.

"Most small companies know they need to improve their recovery time and/or data recovery point beyond tape saves but don't always know all of the options that exist," adds Bill Rice, director of marketing communications for Vision Solutions. "This new paper helps clarify the options based on Vision's extensive experience and global leadership in the HA and disaster recovery space."

The paper covers both single-system and multiple-system technologies/strategies, including: tape backups, journaling/logging, hot/cold sites, RAID, disk mirroring, remote journaling, logical replication, logical partitioning (virtual servers), local and remote hardware mirroring, SAN copy services, managed journal recovery, continuous data protection (CDP), high availability, IASP and clustering, a release said.
