EMC engages AS/400 business continuity

Johannesburg, 22 Jun 1999

EMC has further extended the connectivity and flexibility of its Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems with the introduction of EMC CopyPoint software.

The new offering extends EMC`s business continuity capabilities in AS/400 environments. By allowing AS/400 systems to read secondary copies of production system data, CopyPoint enables customers to take greater advantage of EMC`s premier business continuity software: EMC TimeFinder and Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF).

"The ability to conduct business around the clock has become essential to compete in today`s global marketplace," says Hugh Wason, country manager of EMC SA. "Customers can now rely on EMC Enterprise Storage to further leverage their AS/400 information resources and ensure that planned procedures and potential interruptions do not hinder revenue generating operations." With EMC CopyPoint software, working in conjunction with TimeFinder and/or SRDF, Symmetrix Enterprise Storage provides virtually uninterrupted 24-hour, 7-day production level support to AS/400 environments. By utilising multiple copies of corporate information, which reside either on the same storage system or at a second remote system, all AS/400 business-critical production operations continue while secondary procedures such as point-in-time backups, batch processing, application testing, and data warehouse loading occur in parallel.
