IBM iSeries AS400
High Availability/ Disaster Recovery
for as Little as
$9 Per Day
Power outages, natural disasters, accidental shutdowns or hacks. how long your business can afford to be "down" is a bitter pill, as are the over-priced plans of most typical disaster recovery options available today. With typical disaster recovery contracts, you are sharing resources with other companies on the same system and if someone else declares a disaster before you do, or if they are on a more expensive "premium" level plan, you are out of luck: full resources are routed to that customer's disaster and you have zero coverage for a period of up to six weeks until all equipment can be properly backed up and reconfigured. Now that's a disaster.
Abacus' iSeries disaster recovery packages are based on 100% one-to-one dedicated system resources... you never share partitioned space with others, and they never drain resources from yours - all at a fraction of the price of less reliable commercial plans.
The Abacus iSeries Disaster Recovery Advantage
- Abacus builds out your solution at a 1:1 ratio. no shared resources with any other entity
- Dedicated 800 number for one point of contact
- Abacus has expert hardware engineers on staff. If you have an emergency we have the hardware and talent to resolve your crisis on the spot
- Data Center offers all necessary environmental controls to maintain sophisticated iSeries environments: Separate dedicated data circuits; dedicated A/C; power routed through an auto-transfer switch on a warm natural gas generator with 10 minutes to hot and then into a UPS - both sized not to exceed 66% load at any time; generator is exercised and tested weekly; UPS is self testing and monitored with an annual hot maintenance when power is provided by the generator to prevent susceptibility to commercial outages.
- Dedicated, serialized, 24-hour electronic badge access only, surrounding areas and access points under video surveillance
