Abstract
This IBM Redpaper publication provides an overview of the current business continuity solutions for applications running on IBM Power Systems.
IBM Power servers have been specifically designed with availability in mind, reducing single points of failure and providing redundant hardware components in order to minimize hardware failures that interrupt critical business functions, as such is has been proven to be one of the most available server platforms in the industry.
However, a highly available platform is not a guarantee of 100% availability so IBM also has developed software and strategies to help you continue to run your business in the rare event of hardware, software or site failures that impact your production environment. This book provides an overview of the High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions that you can take advantage of to keep your business up and running with minimal interruption if an outage were to occur and then describes the features that have been introduced with the most current version of those products.
