BC/DR: IBM GDPS Facility
At some point, most companies consider the effects a flood, earthquake, explosion, or other manmade disaster would have on their business processes. But few companies invest the time and resources to formulate a strategy for dealing with such a disaster. And only the largest or most proactive companies actually document and test their contingency plans before disaster strikes.
Levi, Ray & Shoup, Inc. offers companies a means to prepare for disruptions to critical business systems. As one of only a handful of IBM partners in the U.S., LRS is now an IBM Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS) demonstration facility. GDPS is a multi-site or single-site end to end application availability solution that helps automate recovery procedures for planned and unplanned outages. With GDPS, you can have total confidence that your key business applications will be up and running when your employees, partners and customers need them.
LRS offers live demonstrations of IBM GDPS on two DS6800’s and two zSeries 990’s running Parallel Sysplex technology at their corporate headquarters in Springfield, IL. Demonstrations can be also offered remotely showing the HyperSwap feature. HyperSwap is designed to swap a large number of devices and to do it instantaneously so there is minimal impact to applications availability with disruptions measured in seconds rather than hours.
