Maxava HA Enterprise+ delivers high availability and disaster recovery readiness for complex IBM i system environments and new mobile remote role swap functionality with maxView Manager.
High availability and DR software provider Maxava has introduced Maxava HA Enterprise+ at this week's COMMON 2011 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis. Maxava HA Enterprise+ is a new product in Maxava’s lineup of HA and DR solutions for IBM i environments.
Key new features include the integration of Maxava’s proprietary Command Scripting Functionality (CSF) with Maxava’s unique maxView Manager interface. CSF allows customers to build fully scripted routines using any IBM i commands, quickly and simply, without needing to compile code. maxView Manager allows the user to both run CSF routines and access command line functionality directly from a Web enabled device, including PC, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android Smartphones.
This enhancement, which is a first for IBM i HA/DR, allows IT professionals to monitor and manage Maxava HA Enterprise+ environments, and certain IBM i functionality, remotely from their handheld device.
The need to react quickly to disaster situations when normal access to systems and data centers is not possible became acutely apparent from review of recent major disaster experiences of Maxava customers. Some found themselves struggling to get direct physical access to systems as a result of personal situations, or emergency service cordons, in the aftermath of major natural disasters.
“The recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan and New Zealand serve as a stark reminder that organizations need to prepare for a disaster that impacts their computing infrastructure and their business operations,” said Simon O’Sullivan, executive vice president, Maxava. “Maxava’s development of remote management and control of our customers’ IBM i environment is business critical. We’ve spent a considerable amount of time working with our customers to understand how they use our products and what they’d like our products to do even better than before. The enhancements that have been added to our new Maxava HA Enterprise+ product are all customer driven. We’re pleased to announce this enhanced HA and DR solution for the IBM i market at COMMON,” he said.
As part of the launch of Maxava HA Enterprise+, Maxava has announced a free upgrade offer to its Maxava HA Enterprise customers wishing to upgrade to the new Maxava HA Enterprise+. Support for customers choosing not to upgrade will continue as normal.
Maxava HA/DR Solution Suite for IBM i
Maxava's comprehensive product line includes Maxava HA Enterprise+, Maxava HA SMB, and Maxava HA Data Stream.
The Maxava HA Suite provides real-time replication for IBM i for enterprise strength disaster recovery that many organizations are putting in place to protect critical corporate data and for compliance purposes.
Maxava's suite of HA solutions incorporates the features, reliability and ease of use that are critical for any IBM i shop, regardless of size, the company says. The underlying quality, architecture and engineering, the company notes, are the same whether a user chooses the basic replication product, Maxava HA Data Stream, or the top-end Maxava HA Enterprise+ solution.
