Description

IBM PowerHA SystemMirror is an advanced high availability solution designed to keep critical applications running smoothly by minimizing downtime through intelligent failure detection, automatic failover, and disaster recovery capabilities. This integrated technology supports both IBM AIX and IBM i platforms and offers flexible deployment options including multisite configurations for robust disaster recovery assurance. Users benefit from a simplified management interface that centralizes cluster operations and leverages smart assists to streamline setup and maintenance. PowerHA supports host-based replication techniques such as geographic mirroring and GLVM, enabling failover to private or public cloud environments. The solution tightly integrates IBM SAN storage systems, including DS8000 and Flash Systems, ensuring data integrity and performance. Licensing is based on processor cores with a one-time fee plus a first-year maintenance package, providing cost efficiency. Its highly autonomous design reduces administrative overhead, while continuous monitoring tools keep system health and performance transparent. IBM’s investment in PowerHA reflects its commitment to delivering resilient and scalable IT infrastructure solutions.

Description

As an aging mainframe struggled to handle increasing transaction volumes and ongoing expansion, a straightforward "lift and shift" upgrade approach proved inadequate. Sungard Availability Services (Sungard AS) offered a detailed roadmap for both the near and distant future, along with the necessary migration and hosting services, allowing Global Atlantic to transition smoothly and ahead of schedule. Cabot Financial Ireland, a prominent player in consumer credit management, leverages its established application software alongside contact center expertise to provide outsourced credit and collections services to over 40 credit unions throughout Ireland. For this essential service, the company depends on Sungard Availability Services (Sungard AS) to maintain resilience within its IT infrastructure. Now, Cabot is collaborating with Sungard AS to execute a phased migration to the AWS cloud, which will be entirely managed by Sungard AS to ensure seamless support for both its primary and recovery environments. This strategic partnership not only enhances operational efficiency but also positions Cabot for future growth in an increasingly digital landscape.
