Recovery AssuranceExpert for DB2 z/OS
Recovery AssuranceExpert (RAX) strikes the balance between the critical need for Business Availability and their associated Costs. It secures growing business and helps to meet legal requirements for enterprise-wide database recovery.
Business Availablity
There are many critical components to any recovery strategy - from what type of storage media to use, frequency of backups, recovery time objectives, risk analysis, cost-benefit tradeoffs and more - along with an ongoing understanding of all of these elements as the IT infrastructure and business needs change.
RAX can:
- Quickly identify gaps and lapses, as well as including unrecoverable DB2 objects
- Report recoverability status now and over time to IT and business personnel and management
- Use benchmarks to predict recovery times for your DB2 objects
RAX reports system availability as key performance indicators (KPI) from 0 to 100, giving you a single, comprehensive decision point for the recovery health of the database.
