Sigmund FreudDisasters can strike at any moment, and for businesses relying on IBM i, AS400, iSeries, or System i systems, the impact of data loss can be catastrophic. However, with Cloud400 iSeries cloud backup, the standard for iSeries cloud backup, businesses can return to operation in as little as 6-24 hours after a disaster strikes, ensuring high-speed backup recovery and minimal downtime. So, what sets Cloud400 apart and makes it the go-to choice for disaster recovery in the IBM i ecosystem?
The Need for Speed: Why Cloud400 Stands Out
High-Speed Recovery Infrastructure
With traditional disaster recovery providers, the process of physically transporting backup data tapes to a recovery centre can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Alternatively, if you are backing up to the cloud, the absence of a dedicated recovery infrastructure can significantly delay the restoration of critical data and applications. Cloud400 eliminates these hurdles by providing a robust recovery infrastructure, ensuring swift and efficient recovery post-disaster.
Technology Behind Cloud400 Online Backup
Cloud400 employs cutting-edge technology to safeguard and transmit backups over the internet to a secure offsite data centre. Through the installation of a Virtual Tape Library (VTL) at the client’s location, Cloud400 emulates a tape drive for IBM Power i systems, ensuring seamless integration with existing backup processes. The VTL, functioning as a RAID disk system, guarantees enhanced reliability and eliminates single points of failure associated with traditional tape backups.
Seamless Operation: The Workflow of Cloud400 Online Backup
Recovery and Restoration
When disaster strikes, Cloud400 is primed for action, equipped with the latest backup on its VTL to facilitate a rapid recovery process. By restoring the client’s information and data to its recovery servers, Cloud400 ensures a seamless restoration within the 6-24-hour timeframe, enabling clients to reconnect to their network and resume normal operations swiftly.
Assurance and Testing
Cloud400 goes the extra mile by conducting regular recovery tests to validate the integrity of the backup system, providing clients with documented testing results and recommendations. This proactive approach ensures that clients are well-prepared for any potential disasters, with recovery tests scheduled every 12 months to maintain system integrity.
The Superiority of Cloud400 Online Backup
Cloud400 Online Backup emerges as the preferred choice for IBM i users seeking a reliable, high-speed disaster recovery solution. By offering faster backup and restoration, along with offsite backup capabilities, Cloud400 sets a new standard for cloud backup, ensuring that businesses can swiftly recover from disasters and resume operations with minimal downtime.
In conclusion, iSeries cloud backuprepresents a paradigm shift in disaster recovery for IBM i users, providing a comprehensive and efficient solution to safeguard critical data and ensure business continuity in the face of unforeseen disasters.
