Datanational Offers More Affordable Recovery For IBM I
Farmington Hills-based Datanational Corp. last week announced a new system recovery offering for the IBM System i platform that it says comes at a significant cost savings over traditional DR plans.
Datanational's new System Recovery offering leverages the capabilities of its experienced staff, combined with robust infrastructure and secure high-bandwidth internet communications, to deliver a superior, cost-effective service.
Datanational's System Recovery Services provide a highly customized IT service to load and test a recovered system and establish remote connectivity across the internet for full blown testing of the System Recovery process, while the client staff remain in control of day-to-day system operations at their existing locations. Unlike a traditional DR contract, instead of rushing in and out of the DR site within 48 hours or requiring travel to the DR site for testing, our clients send us the system tape to restore, and then Datanational turns the system resources over to the client for testing for the entire week.
Datanational's experts work remotely to load, configure and test a recovered system at one of Datanational's high-bandwidth recovery site facilities. Once loaded, the client users sign on to the recovered test system from their own location for full system testing. The loading and testing of the remote recovered system is usually completed within one week, but can be extended to accommodate any unforeseen issues that arise during the system recovery testing procedures. This accommodating approach provides ample time to thoroughly test the recovered system and provides Datanational clients companies with reassured confidence that a fully functional system will be provided if ever required.
If traditional system recovery from tape does not meet with client companies' target system availability requirements, Datanational offers several variations of High Availability (HA) implementations or a Continuous Data Protection with data vaulting to one of the DR servers.
