DR AND RESILIENCE

Resilience at every layer.

We cover the full recovery chain for IBM Power. Replication design, continuous monitoring, network and environment readiness, documented recovery runbooks, and regular validation, so recovery is repeatable when it matters most.

  • Configurable recovery architectures: We help define the right replication approach for your environment—from SAN-to-SAN to logical replication—based on your RTO/RPO requirements.
  • 24/7/365 monitoring and remediation: Continuous monitoring of replication health and environment status with alerting, response, and ongoing remediation.
  • Failover environments and network readiness: Pre-built recovery environments for clean failover—so you’re not solving routing, connectivity, or cutover mechanics during an incident.
  • Runbook-driven recovery execution: Clear, workload-specific recovery procedures that standardize failover and failback steps, reduce variation, and keep execution consistent across teams and events.
  • Failover testing and recovery readiness: Planned recovery tests that confirm replication, cutover steps, and application readiness to keep procedures current as workloads and priorities change.

Frequently Asked Questions

We support IBM i and AIX workloads running on IBM Power, with a wide range of OS support. We also support hybrid patterns where IBM i/AIX integrates with AWS, Azure, GCP, and modern hyperscale environments.

No. We can support IBM i and AIX workloads running in our IBM Power cloud or on your premises through remote managed services. Many customers start off with remote management before migrating to the cloud.

We handle the operational work that keeps IBM Power stable in production—OS/PTF and lifecycle planning, monitoring and alerting, performance tuning, batch job support, backup/restore validation, and incident response. We also build and maintain runbooks so daily tasks and recovery steps stay consistent over time.

Yes. We offer a wide range of support for aging OS versions and hardware platforms and can help you upgrade to the latest versions running on Power10 and Power11 in our IBM Power cloud.

Yes. We support Db2 under our DBA services (SQL/query tuning, indexing, capacity planning, and database maintenance) and can design high availability and continuous availability architectures, including Db2 Mirror where it fits the workload and uptime requirements.

It means IBM Power can be deployed with low-latency connectivity to AWS, Azure, and GCP, making it practical to integrate IBM i and AIX workloads with cloud-native services. In many traditional environments, latency becomes the barrier to using modern cloud services for AI, data, application layers, and recovery.
