Download or read book IBM Storage Infrastructure for Business Continuity written by R. F. Kern and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2010-01-30 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of business continuity and disaster recovery remains at the forefront of thought for many executives and IT technical professionals. This IBM® RedpaperTM describes the lessons learned from recent disasters and how IBM storage technology can help businesses address many of the issues related to protecting their storage infrastructures and business-critical IT applications. Two principal disaster recovery metrics, Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective, are defined and, along with the associated cost tradeoffs, are discussed from the vantage point of various IBM storage technology solutions. Two IBM Business Continuance/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) automation solutions, known as GDPS/PPRC with HyperSwap® and GDPS/PPRC HyperSwap Manager, are described and shown how they can help an installation move closer to attaining a goal of continuous operationGDPS/PPRC with HyperSwap operates in z/OS® environments. For z/OS installations operating two or more sites, in the event of a storage subsystem, host, network or communications facility failure, a switch to processing at an alternate site can be made in almost real time by using GDPS/PPRC with HyperSwap. Additionally, many Clustered Open Systems that are integrated with IBM Remote Copy technology can be configured to switch to a second site in almost real time. In these situations, when a site switch is executed, applications that have been cloned at both sites can continue running with minimal impact to the user.

Download or read book Introduction to Storage Area Networks written by Jon Tate and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The superabundance of data that is created by today's businesses is making storage a strategic investment priority for companies of all sizes. As storage takes precedence, the following major initiatives emerge: Flatten and converge your network: IBM® takes an open, standards-based approach to implement the latest advances in the flat, converged data center network designs of today. IBM Storage solutions enable clients to deploy a high-speed, low-latency Unified Fabric Architecture. Optimize and automate virtualization: Advanced virtualization awareness reduces the cost and complexity of deploying physical and virtual data center infrastructure. Simplify management: IBM data center networks are easy to deploy, maintain, scale, and virtualize, delivering the foundation of consolidated operations for dynamic infrastructure management. Storage is no longer an afterthought. Too much is at stake. Companies are searching for more ways to efficiently manage expanding volumes of data, and to make that data accessible throughout the enterprise. This demand is propelling the move of storage into the network. Also, the increasing complexity of managing large numbers of storage devices and vast amounts of data is driving greater business value into software and services. With current estimates of the amount of data to be managed and made available increasing at 60% each year, this outlook is where a storage area network (SAN) enters the arena. SANs are the leading storage infrastructure for the global economy of today. SANs offer simplified storage management, scalability, flexibility, and availability; and improved data access, movement, and backup. Welcome to the cognitive era. The smarter data center with the improved economics of IT can be achieved by connecting servers and storage with a high-speed and intelligent network fabric. A smarter data center that hosts IBM Storage solutions can provide an environment that is smarter, faster, greener, open, and easy to manage. This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides an introduction to SAN and Ethernet networking, and how these networks help to achieve a smarter data center. This book is intended for people who are not very familiar with IT, or who are just starting out in the IT world.

Download or read book Business Continuity Solution with Red Hat OpenShift and IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud on Microsoft Azure written by IBM and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this Blueprint is to facilitate the deployment of the hybrid cloud business continuity solution with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) on Microsoft Azure Cloud and Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver plug-in for IBM Block Storage and IBM® Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud (SV4PC) on Microsoft Azure Cloud. This solution is designed to protect the data by using IBM Storage-based Global Mirror Replication, and the "volume replication" feature from IBM block storage CSI driver for IBM Storage. For demonstration purposes, MySQL containerized database is installed on the persistent volume (PV) that is created on the on-premises IBM FlashSystem® Storage. This storage is connected to the RHOCP cluster in the vSphere environment. CSI driver plug-in for IBM Block Storage (FS9100) and SV4PC on Azure is installed on Red Hat OCP on Azure and On-premises Red Hat OCP. The volume or logical unit number (LUN) from on-premises IBM FlashSystem Storage (FS9100) is replicated to IBM SV4PC on Microsoft Azure Cloud by using the IBM storage global mirror replication feature and the IBM CSI volume replication feature. The information in this document is distributed on an as-is basis without any warranty that is either expressed or implied. Support assistance for the use of this material is limited to situations where IBM Spectrum® Virtualize for Public Cloud is supported and entitled, and where the issues are specific to this Blueprint implementation.

Download or read book Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning for IT Professionals written by Susan Snedaker and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful Earthquake Triggers Tsunami in Pacific. Hurricane Katrina Makes Landfall in the Gulf Coast. Avalanche Buries Highway in Denver. Tornado Touches Down in Georgia. These headlines not only have caught the attention of people around the world, they have had a significant effect on IT professionals as well. As technology continues to become more integral to corporate operations at every level of the organization, the job of IT has expanded to become almost all-encompassing. These days, it's difficult to find corners of a company that technology does not touch. As a result, the need to plan for potential disruptions to technology services has increased exponentially. That is what Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is: a methodology used to create a plan for how an organization will recover after a disaster of various types. It takes into account both security and corporate risk management tatics.There is a lot of movement around this initiative in the industry: the British Standards Institute is releasing a new standard for BCP this year. Trade shows are popping up covering the topic.* Complete coverage of the 3 categories of disaster: natural hazards, human-caused hazards, and accidental and technical hazards.* Only published source of information on the new BCI standards and government requirements.* Up dated information on recovery from cyber attacks, rioting, protests, product tampering, bombs, explosions, and terrorism.
