IBM PowerHA Cluster Manager (HACMP)
HACMP, now a PowerHA product
|
| |
IBM Power HA Cluster Manager (HACMP) helps achieve business continuity that reliable hardware alone cannot provide. For over a decade, IBM HACMP™ has provided reliable high availability services, monitoring clients' mission critical applications running on IBM servers—and now the IBM System p™ and System i™ servers. From the network server operating systems and applications, HACMP monitors the entire
system and can quickly and automatically restart an application on backup hardware in the event of failure or service degradation. The combination of IBM's servers, AIX® or Linux® for Power™, and HACMP provides the highest level of protection and availability.
And to keep the business running even if an entire site is disabled, HACMP/XD (Extended Distance) extends HACMP's capabilities by replicating critical data and enabling failover to a remote site. HACMP/XD provides a portfolio of data mirroring and recovery options which let you build a disaster recovery solution with the backup site in a campus or metropolitan wide area, or even hundreds of miles away.
IBM PowerHA Cluster Manager for Linux (HACMP for Linux)
IBM's HACMP premiere high availability product is also available for use on the Linux operating system! HACMP V5.4 for Linux supports Red Hat and SUSE Linux for Power systems. With HACMP for Linux, clients can now have a common availability solution throughout their enterprise, from high-end servers running a large database to edge-tier applications on Linux. This extends HACMP's world-class protection software of your mission-critical applications running on all IBM System p servers. HACMP for Linux uses the same interface and configurations as HACMP for AIX providing a common multi-platform solution which protects your investment as you grow your cluster environments.
Smart Assists for DB2, Oracle, and WebSphere
HACMP Smart Assists for DB2® and Oracle® simplify HACMP setup in these common database environments. Including the Smart Assist for WebSphere®, these Smart Assists use application-specific knowledge to extend HACMP's standard auto-discovery features and provide all the necessary application monitors and start/stop scripts to streamline the configuration process. All three Smart Assists are included in one inexpensive, orderable package.
Making application availability easier
With the advanced tools and auto-discovery features of HACMP V5.4, configuration of high availability clusters is easier than ever. IBM also supplies many resources to help you integrate HACMP into your environment to provide maximum value. Check the application enabler page and the resources page to see how HACMP has improved and simplified availability across a wide range of industries and applications.
HACMP's enablers include the IBM Smart Assist Program as well as third party application integration. Oracle's certification of the Oracle Application Server Cold Failover Cluster demonstrates the integration strides HACMP is proving with the industry.
