This paper provides the reader with the basic guidelines on how to identify, discuss, and qualify Disaster Recovery opportunities for IBM clients running AIX 5L™ applications on System p™ servers. The discussion that follows focuses on the key elements of a complete disaster recovery plan for a business enterprise, and the contributing roles and features of System p software products. The enclosed table summarizes System p solutions with the potential to address two main types of outages that need to be considered in Disaster Recovery planning:
- Complete loss of the primary data center site, caused by one or more catastrophic events. The site will be unavailable for an extended period of time.
- Loss of some critical resource in the data center for a long enough duration to impact 'top tier' business-critical applications, and therefore, the business as a whole. The data center itself remains physically intact, but due to a component failure, or human error, critical capacity is lost, or access to the enterprise network is not available.
