Protect Your Business from Common IBM iSeries Disaster Recovery Mistakes
There is more than one way to put your IBM iSeries investment at risk—and make your business vulnerable to unnecessary downtime. From media storage to simple management tasks, small errors in IBM iSeries disaster recovery planning can cause big problems for you—and your business.
What’s the Best IBM iSeries Disaster Recovery Plan for Your Business?
The AS/400 disaster recovery plan that’s best for your business is the one that satisfies your unique recovery time objectives (RTOs). If your business depends on near-real-time recovery of transaction or business data, then your disaster recovery solution will need to be more aggressive to meet those requirements. Additionally, your AS/400 disaster recovery plan should address compliance requirements for data protection.
Data Storage Corp offers affordable, simple and reliable AS/400 disaster recovery solutions that are designed to satisfy any recovery time objective.

More states are passing laws that require secure handling of personally identifiable data, which means that any IBM iSeries disaster recovery plan that you deploy should include encryption to protect this sensitive data. The penalties and fines for noncompliance can be substantial, not to mention the loss of confidence by customers should their data be breached. DSC’s IBM iSeries disaster recovery services include data encryption that satisfies these privacy laws.
