Learn how technological advances in AIX high availability, clustering disaster recovery and continuous operations are ensuring that both planned and unplanned outages result in minimal data loss.
For IT departments looking to bring their AIX environments to the next step in data protection, IBM’s PowerHA (formerly HACMP) connects multiple servers to shared storage via clustering. This offers automatic recovery of applications and system resources if a failure occurs with the primary server. But clustering only makes the server resilient, not the data storage. In order to be fully resilient, replication of the data store is essential. Learn all about how AIX data replication works and how it benefits PowerHA clusters.
