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.

- 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
