Business Continuity and High Availability are really business as usual in the mainframe world. Vendors like Hitachi Data Systems spend a lot of engineering time enhancing what some consider the most demanding mission-critical environments. Actually, next time you’re on a plane, you might be flying because of an HDS system, but more on this in another blog… (note: we don’t help with water landings, actually our systems really don’t like water).
I just thought I’d point you to a recent announcement HDS made on the subject. Our Universal Storage Platform™ (USP) V and VM are now certified with IBM’s Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS) system solution.
The net-net is that this compatibility and interoperability certification with IBM’s GDPS system now allows our customers to mix Hitachi storage and IBM storage in the mainframe environment, leveraging a centralized and optimized architecture that delivers business continuity, hierarchical storage management, data migration and disaster recovery.
This is contrasts with alternative architectures typically forcing customers to waste resources and incur operational costs on multiple isolated islands of storage.
And they were saying mainframe was dead…
