| XOsoft to work with IBM on IT continuity development
XOsoft, Inc., a provider of business continuity software solutions, has announced that it will work with IBM to develop real-time software migration tools for the IBM TotalStorage SAN File System. These tools will help customers easily migrate data without taking the servers offline or rebooting systems, helping reduce downtime and lost data. XOsoft's WANSync will provide IBM with a non-disruptive data migration feature through its patented soft-installation technology, which allows administrators to deploy the software transparently. XOsoft will port WANSync to IBM's AIX operating environment, optimising the software to support the IBM TotalStorage SAN File System. IBM currently plans to use XOsoft’s technology to provide migration services for customers moving data to IBM's new TotalStorage SAN File System. In addition to using WANSync for data migration, IBM's customers will have the ability to activate WANSync for disaster recovery and high availability solutions for their mission critical servers. WANSync serves as a global platform for disaster recovery and high availability by synchronising entire critical information servers to remote replicas, and keeping them refreshed and available with continuous, real-time replication. Its advanced ‘Rewind’ technology allows administrators to instantly roll systems back
