White Paper

Description:
If you're like most businesses, you're using some form of data protection today – probably tape-based backup. The problem with these legacy backup methods is that they do not fully address the needs of IBM AIX users. Your applications need to have 24 x 7 availability, and the time needed to backup to tape -- and perform a full system recovery, should you need it -- just is not there. You need to have a backup solution that fully addresses the needs of your IBM AIX operating environment, not one that "can be made to work" with it.

EchoStream for AIX is a proven solution to the data recovery problem that is in use at a variety of referenceable accounts today. EchoStream leverages CDP technology to support instantaneous recoveries from disk, resulting in minimal data loss (due to its ability to present all possible recovery points), rapid, reliable recovery (due to its ability to restore immediately from disk), all while not imposing any downtime on production applications (zero impact data protection).

Because EchoStream ensures that data on the backup server is always current; it can be relied upon as a manual failover platform that allows application processing to be rapidly restarted in the event of a catastrophic production server failure. In addition, EchoStream supports asynchronous replication that will allow businesses to establish cost-effective and secure multi-site disaster recovery strategies that support rapid recovery, even from archived data. EchoStream runs on IBM System p servers with AIX 5 and above and is applicable to any AIX application, but is applied most often for use with business- or mission-critical applications such as enterprise databases or file systems…
