Let’s face it; system administration remains a largely thankless task. From scheduling jobs to balancing workloads to answering messages in QSYSOPR, administrators and operators work diligently behind the scenes to ensure that IBM i servers are available to run mission-critical applications.
If you have no disaster recovery plan, have never tested a recovery, or are thinking it could never happen to your organization, you could be in for some scary consequences.
Boom. Disaster strikes. Now, it’s up to you to find the tape volume that contains the lost data and restore it quickly to the correct location. Luckily, recovering your IBM i data is easy with Robot Save.
Disaster recovery requirements are part of the geographic and industry regulations that affect our organizations. Having the right solutions in place can help to avoid penalties and make audits go smoothly. Read on to create a complete compliance toolkit.
The operations team was excited to share how Robot job scheduling and monitoring software has helped them manage their processing needs across platforms from their IBM i.
Tape-only backups are not secure. Think about it. Your organization allows third-parties to take tapes off-site for storage. Once the tapes are off-site, they’re out of your control. But there is good news.
As data storage needs increase, SAN technology delivers greater flexibility. Chris Bremer, Chief Technology Officer at DSI, leads this 30-minute recorded session on what SAN is and how it works.
Watch this webinar where IBM i expert Chuck Stupca explains how FlashCopy works and discusses the ways that it helps you build a better backup strategy for your IBM i environment.
Studies show that the amount of data stored worldwide will grow by 4,300% within 7 years. 80% of that growth is on enterprise servers like your IBM i. If you want to be prepared to manage that kind of big data, watch this webinar!
Backup and recovery processes are among the unsung heroes of data center operations. Though end results may not be readily apparent on an everyday basis, natural and digital disasters have a way of humbling companies that do not take this risk management discipline seriously.
As IASP technology continues to grow, so will its uses for high availability (HA) and backups. The result of that will be shrinking hardware costs and complexity and increased redundancy.
Last month, Chuck Stupca (retired IBMer) and Chuck Losinski (Fortra) presented a webinar discussing FlashCopy for IBM i. Based on the attendance, it looks like this is a very important topic for many of you so I wanted to explain how FlashCopy ties to Robot products.
