IBM launches new IT continuity solutions

IBM has announced the worldwide availability of two new IBM eServer IT continuity offerings for mid-size customers:

iSeries for Capacity Backup
A low-priced, off-site, disaster recovery server, the iSeries for Capacity Backup features iSeries On/Off Capacity on Demand, which allows customers to better utilise their server resources by designating a minimum set of active processors, with a set of standby processors that can be activated at no additional charge in the event of a qualifying disaster.

iSeries for High Availability Server
This has been designed for customers seeking to minimise both planned and unplanned downtime events. The iSeries for High Availability server includes high availability software packages from leading independent software vendors.

Each of the new server offerings is available as a specially configured i825, i870 or i890 server.

"Customers are telling us that their infrastructure must respond immediately to a server failure or unexpected spike in demand," said Cecelia Marrese, vice president of marketing, eServer iSeries. "Our new business continuity offerings provide customers with the peace of mind of knowing that they can turn on additional server capacity or move applications entirely to a standby server."
