IBM Capacity Backup for Power Systems

Capacity Backup solutions for your high availability and disaster recover needs

Tab navigation

The Power Systems Capacity BackUp (CBU) offerings are designed to support our client's disaster recovery and high availability needs. The Capacity BackUp offerings recognize that true high availability or disaster recovery solutions require at least two systems. If one system is not available the other one "takes over". The CBU offering is designed to give our clients flexible and economic options for deploying business continuity operations.

What's new

On April 8, 2008 IBM announced the addition of the Power Systems CBU offerings. There are two separate offerings. One of the offerings is specifically designed for 595 disaster recovery operations (Power 595 CBU for DR) and comes with two pre package options for processor activation and usage (no CBU registration or declaration of disaster required). The second CBU offering is designed specifically for IT environments that have i operating system environments (CBU for i) and is in keeping with the previous CBU offerings for i environments. The terms for the CBU for i allow a primary system processors optional i license entitlements and 5250 Enterprise Enablement license entitlements (or optional user entitlements in the case of the Power 520 CBU) to be temporarily transferred to the CBU Edition when the primary system processor cores are not in concurrent use. There are also offerings from IBM and IBM HA ISV partners that compliment the CBU for i offering. To learn more about these IBM and vendor options, click on the links below.
