Do you need a developed IBM disaster recovery plan?

One that you can count on because you can test it on a regular basis and certify all elements are working as expected? Have you ever considered how much time your critical systems can be down – or the cost to you if your AS400 or iSeries disaster recovery plan failed?

Cloud400 DR provides multiple IBM disaster recovery, iSeries disaster recovery and AS400 disaster recovery solutions to fit various Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements.

Despite the IBM i reputation for legendary reliability, your critical applications can still have downtime – planned and unplanned.

Cloud400 High Availability (HA) – Constant Replication

For your mission critical applications that require the fastest RTO and RPO we recommend Highly Available (HA) for constant replication. Generally, our clients have selected MIMIX, iTera, or QEDD replication software, although there are other alternatives. This IBM disaster recovery HA solution provides the quickest recovery time — in minutes instead of days — because your data is being constantly replicated across the wire to your Cloud400 DR backup.

Three reasons Cloud400 DR is 30%-70% less expensive than an on premise HA server or hosted solution without sacrificing an ounce of performance:

1. Pay for only what you need,
2. Pay for the level of backup and recovery you want,
3. Our replication software is less expensive – you only pay for the copy needed for your on-premise production server.

Cloud400 IBM Storage FlashSystem – SAN-to-SAN Replication

Cloud400 IBM FlashSystem Storage – SAN-to-SAN Replication

IBM FlashSystem Storage provides simplified asynchronous replication between two systems. This means you can replicate your production system to a target system beyond 28 miles for Disaster Recovery (DR).

This service provides simpliﬁed asynchronous replication between systems, allowing replication intervals from daily to every hour. Cloud400 IBM FlashSystem Storage enables recovery from the last transmission point in minutes.

Three reasons Cloud400 FlashSystem Storage is less expensive than High Availability (HA):

1. No HA software license and related annual software support fees,
2. No HA implementation professional service fees,
3. No cost for an active target LPAR – your system is saved to a target IBM FlashSystem Storage.

Cloud400 Online Backup – Recovery From Your Daily Backups In 6-24 Hours

Cloud400 Online Backup is an affordable recovery option for any IBM i, AS400, System i or iSeries disaster recovery plan. With Online Backup you save from your IBM i production server to an on-premise Virtual Tape Drive (VTL) and send periodic daily changes to your Cloud400 data vault. The speed of the VTL reduces your backup window. Data deduplication dramatically shrinks the data that is encrypted and transmitted to Cloud400. Should you declare a disaster we restore your system to a Cloud400 backup server (a Logical Partition or LPAR) at our data center. The Online Backup RPO is usually around 6-24 hours. The RTO really depends on the time of your last replicated backup.

Cloud400 Tape Recovery

Cloud400 Tape Recovery is our most affordable disaster recovery solution for IBM i, iSeries, AS400 or System i users that are OK to recover within 24-48 hours. This is a great option if you need to show management or auditors that you have a formal DR plan in place for your iSeries.

Each quarter you send us a complete system save (Save21) backup tape for us to keep on hand in our fireproof vault.

When you declare a disaster, we start building your Cloud400 Logical Partition (LPAR or virtual server) from your backup. You also overnight us your most recent backup to restore to your Cloud400 LPAR so we can get you back up and running with current balances from your last backup.

Also during this period, we connect your firewall with our firewall with point-to-point VPN. We estimate recovery within a range of 24-48 hours, depending on the declaration and the receipt of the backup tape.

Cloud400 Emergency Replacement (ER) Server – Server Shipped To Your Location

Ease the stress of an IBM i, AS400, System i or iSeries disaster recovery with an emergency replacement server that is comparable or better than your current server’s performance and capacity. The Cloud400 ER server is shipped to a location you specify. You can take delivery at your office or another location if your office is not suitable for business.

From time of declaring the need for the Cloud400 ER server, allow about 2 days for express delivery (about 1 day to retrieve the server from inventory, add any requisite features and test and 1 day for overnight freight to any location you specify. Upon receipt, you restore your backup tapes to the Cloud400 ER server.
