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.
