| Source: Vision Solutions
IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - September 8, 2009) - Vision Solutions, a leading high availability, disaster recovery, and data management
solutions provider in IBM (NYSE : IBM ) Power Systems markets, today
announces a a new white paper providing an extensive end-to-end 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.
"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,
clustering and more.
Also included in the paper are a series of diagrams -- one building on the
other -- that makes it easy to see how each technology and strategy
compares to the others in terms of improvements in recovery time and the
completeness of data recovery.
Says Rice, "This document is an 'industry first' that provides managers of
IBM i and AIX environments an up-to-date overview of the many options for
adding resilience and recovery capabilities."
