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 a key performance indicators (KPI) from 0 to 100, giving you a single, comprehensive decision point for the recovery health of the database.

Costs

In this time of mergers, acquisitions and tightened budgets, it's never been more important to make sure critical data is recoverable in consideration of the costs.

• Determines recovery risk and cost-benefit backup and recovery scenarios

• Finds objects copied too often or too less

• Provides detailed data to find the right backup strategy

  - Interval

DB2 audit on recoverability and backup efficiency:

Periodically proving DB2 recoverability is a must for enterprise critical data. But, within today's complex environments it can be a laborious task that covers multiple departments and IT areas.

We offer audit services that check and verify recovery affecting factors and provide a Risk Indicator of the current state of operation. Expert knowledge combined with the proven technology of Recovery AssuranceExpert renders time-consuming research unnecessary.

It's not all about recovery; some companies are facing daily backup costs that are disproportionately growing. Based on our analysis we not only report on your status of recoverability, bottlenecks and weak spots, but also give you a cost/benefit comparison that tells you exactly, how you can reduce your daily costs without compromising your recovery SLAs.
