Today, virtual servers can migrate and fail over between data centers, but it requires at least a short disruption to the application to restart the virtual machine. Live data migration between data centers over distance could be a boon for disaster recovery purposes but it could be a while before it becomes a reality. 

FortisAlberta distributes electricity over 107,000 kilometers of power lines to 453,500 customers across plains and mountains that are buried in snow one-third of the year. When they needed to reduce risk and improve business technology availability, continuity and disaster recovery, they turned to HP. 

This podcast looks closely at a unique data recovery solution for IBM AIX Environments called EchoStream for AIX. 

This white paper will provide a review of the core causes and costs of both planned and unplanned downtime and will then provide a detailed discussion of current options for High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions. 

This white paper reviews the technology spectrum available for IBM i and AIX environments, including the latest, next-generation solutions, with a goal of preparing IT professionals to evaluate and adopt those most effective and appropriate for their organization. 

EchoStream for AIX is a proven solution to the data recovery problem that is in use at a variety of referenceable accounts today. 

The modern organization has email at the heart of its communications and business processes. This makes it critical to minimize both the downtime and loss of email upon the outset of a business continuity event. Maintaining access to email while upholding risk mitigation and compliance is a challenging endeavor. 

Organizations that have yet to implement an e-mail archiving solution have a new decision: use an on-premises or cloud-based (sometimes referred to as Software as a Service or SaaS) solution? The latter is more viable when the archive service is delivered by a reputable, well-established provider such as Iron Mountain. 

View this step-by-step product demonstration to see how to implement a high performance, highly available, and easily scaled SAN without impacting applications or limiting performance as workloads change and grow. 

Built on patented peer storage architecture, the Dell EqualLogic PS Series of Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage arrays offer high performance, reliability, intelligent automation, and seamless virtualization of storage to enable simplified enterprise storage deployment and management, and comprehensive data protection. 

Navicure, an insurance claims processing company, needed a more robust storage and disaster recovery solution. They chose a scalable, in-house storage area network using Dell EqualLogic PS Series Internet SCSI arrays, and automated the planning, testing, and deployment of a disaster recovery solution using VMware Site Recovery Manager software. 

Read this solution brief to learn how the Dell EqualLogic PS Series' bundled Auto-Snapshot Manager and Auto-Replication features are used to effectively integrate with VMware for scalable online data protection of the complete virtual infrastructure. This paper also discusses protection and simplification for the virtual environment. 

Virtualization is changing everything, from how you manage resources to the way you support your business, it addresses many of today's IT challenges - cost, responsiveness, availability, disaster recovery - and is a key element for achieving a more automated, agile infrustructure. Dell helps you virtualize at the speed of <i>your</i> business...
