Autonomic computing and iTera, Inc.

iTera, Inc. is a leading developer and integrator of high availability and data management solutions for IBM iSeries™. Its flagship product, Echo2 High Availability--recently named 2004 iSeries High Availability Product of the Year by TechTarget—has made iTera the fastest-growing HA solution vendor in the iSeries market.

iTera was founded in 1997, and got its start by developing a variety of tools to assist IBM iSeries and AS/400® customers in their Y2K conversions. iTera adapted these tools into a variety of products that dramatically reduced or eliminated downtime. Along the way, iTera integrated several IBM technologies into its tools, including remote journaling, clustering and autonomics. These coupled with a host of proprietary innovations are the reason why iTera has created uncommonly reliable, easy-to-use, and affordable business continuity and availability solutions for the IBM iSeries market.

In addition to being an IBM Advanced Business Partner, iTera is a member of the IBM Tools Network, has several IBM ServerProven® solutions, and has a teaming agreement with the IBM Autonomic Computing Group.

“iTera intends to leverage IBM’s Autonomic Computing Toolkit to ensure that our products deliver consistent autonomic functionality across all IBM servers. A host of autonomic functions already add greatly to the usability of iTera’s solutions, and our partnership with the AC group will bring additional value to our iSeries customers.”

Self-managing technologies: Self-configuring, Self-healing, Self-protecting, Self-optimizing
iTera, Inc. solution: Echo² High Availability

iTera, Inc. solution

iTera's Echo2 High Availability has become one of the fastest selling high availability solutions in the iSeries market because it is remarkably affordable, reliable and easy to use. Echo2 is built on IBM’s remote journaling and clustering technologies, has state-of-the-art object auditing capabilities, and employs extensive self-healing and self-configuring autonomic features.

Additional features include:

  • Built natively on IBM’s Remote Journaling technology for efficient, reliable object transport, with minimal latency.
  • Automatically audit objects, and when necessary, automatically resynchronizes objects. This level of autonomics make Echo2 easier and faster to manage—typically less than 30 minutes per day.
  • Echo2 is fully installed with users trained in days, not weeks.
  • Reliably mirrors all system-critical objects, including: programs, data areas, data queues, IFS, user profiles, device configurations, spool files, triggers, constraints, WebSphere® MQ and more. All system critical objects are efficiently replicated in real-time.
  • Reliable, simple-to-use, highly automated role-swap (switchover) and failover. Because objects stay in sync, with rare transaction latency.
  • Innovative, record-level auditing for unmatched synchronization accuracy.
  • Very scalable: A single solution scales easily to any size and type of environment from SMB to Enterprise.
