| In-House Disaster Recovery Solution |
System
recovery is just as important for small mainframe users
as for large Data Centers. Small mainframe users can migrate to
an
R/390 and have another R/390 at a different site for recovery
purposes.
You pay for the machines but only for one software license.
MFSP can orchestrate connectivity and
operations for your In-house Disaster Recovery machine
onsite or at another location.
Integrate nightly and weekly backups to keep systems mirrored for minimum downtime in case of disaster. System downtime can be a bigger issue for smaller mainframe users.
Time spent just in communicating your problem to your service provider could be used to bring your system back up on another machine yourself.
IBM recognizes this strategy as useful for small mainframe users and will grant special dispensation to provide 2 machines with one set of system software. The cost savings realized in this approach can be significant. Most disaster recovery is provided by large providers, at a premium price. With this implementation you can take charge of your own recovery testing and schedule at your own convenience.
