IBM iSeries Solutions
DSC’s IBM System i(iSeries,AS/400) High Availability service, provides full management of a customer’s HA environment. We replicate/mirror systems and data from the clients production facility to our data centers, where we have an installed base of IBM AS/400 units, or the client may have their own HA units which we would manage.
Benefits we provide as part of this service:
- Ensure audits run regularly; check results and resolve any identified problems
- Resolve synchronization issues as they occur
- Review and replicate any new libraries/objects as requested
- Perform role swap process for Virtual Role swap tests
- Perform role swap process for Live Role swap tests
- Perform fail-over in the event of a declared disaster
Hosted replication delivers access to data within 15 minutes or less
- Provides a cost-effective high availability (HA) solution for your most critical systems
- End-to-end solution replicates your data real-time to an off-site data center
