Deshmukh, Dishant Doriwala, Alexander Ducut, Karim El Barkouky, Ash Giddings, Santhosh S Joshi, Youssef Largou, Jean-Manuel Lenez, Juan Prada Diez, Vivek Shukla, Kulwinder Singh, Antony Steel, Yadong Yang, IBM Redbooks This IBM® Redpaper publication provides an overview of the business continuity solutions for applications running on IBM Power. IBM Power servers are designed for availability, reducing single points of failure (SPOFs), and providing redundant hardware components to minimize hardware failures that interrupt critical business functions. However, a highly available (HA) platform is not a guarantee of 100% availability, so IBM also developed software and strategies to help you to continue to run your business in the rare event of hardware, software, or site failures that impact your production environment. This publication provides an overview of the high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) solutions that you can use to keep your business running with minimal interruption if an outage occurs. It describes the features that were introduced with the latest version of those products. This paper is written for users, even those without strong technical skills, who are looking for HADR solutions for their applications running in an IBM Power environment and want to understand the current IBM offerings. |
