SAN CONNECTIVITY

 

DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

An effective and efficient IT infrastructure that can accommodate mission-critical data demands is a key requirement for enterprises. Avoiding network downtimes and data unavailability caused by disasters and quick recovery of all crucial data is mandatory (Disaster Recovery). Business critical applications require a hot stand-by data center (Business Continuity). Connecting those dispersed data centers, a highly reliable, scalable and powerful technology is essential.

KEY APPLICATIONS

  • Business Continuity (BC)
    - Open systems server cluster (x86 systems)
    - Mainframe clustering in IBM Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS ®) environments
  • Disaster Recovery (DR)
    - Synchronous and asynchronous disk mirroring
  • Tape backup
  • Distributed file systems
