Center for Replication Two Site Business Continuity
provides disaster recovery man- agement through planned and unplanned failover and failback automation for the IBM ESS Model 800, IBM DS6000 and IBM DS8000.
Continuity helps you manage |
replication to a remote backup |
site(s) through Metro Mirror or |
Global Mirror. The software is |
designed to allow you to moni |
tor the progress of the copy |
services so you can verify the |
amount of replication that has |
been done as well as the |
amount of time needed to |
complete the replication. |
Automated failover is designed |
to keep your critical data online |
and available to your users |
even if your primary site fails. |
When the primary site comes |
back on, the software man |
ages failback to the default |
configuration as well. |
