Vision Solutions Announces iTERA Availability 6.2 for IBM i HA/DR

Vision Solutions, Inc. announced iTERA Availability 6.2, a HA and DR solution for the IBM i OS.

Designed for SMBs, this update delivers features including the ability to export statistics to third-party monitoring consoles, added replication and audit efficiency, and easier license management.

“iTERA Availability is a proven and trusted leader in the IBM i HA market, and it protects our customers’ businesses from potentially catastrophic downtime and data loss,” said Alan Arnold, EVP and CTO, Vision Solutions. “We continue to evolve iTERA with the release of version 6.2, delivering even more value to its enthusiastic and loyal users through increased efficiency, even easier administration, and features that strengthen protection from downtime.“

Because SMBs are often subject to the same regulatory demands and service level expectations as large enterprise companies, they must provide the same level of uninterrupted service to their customers and meet stringent data availability requirements to stay competitive. iTERA Availability uses real-time software replication to a waiting secondary server to ensure the availability of a complete copy of vital business data and applications.

Features in iTERA Availability 6.2 include:

• Easier management

  • Exportable replication statistics for use in third-party monitoring consoles

  • Customizable role swap process

  • Easier license refresh

  • Reduced administration requirements and strengthened role swap confidence through enhanced repair of journaling and database relationship conditions identified by audits

• Increased efficiency

  • Increased audit efficiency and reduced audit time by intelligent handling of unchanged objects

  • Increased replication efficiency and reduced synchronization time through intelligent IFS synchronization restart capability

  • Support for IBM i 7.3

“As part of Vision Solutions’ First Customer Ship program, I found iTERA Availability 6.2 to be an absolute breeze to adopt,” said Laura Calley, engineer, managed services power systems, Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc., IT solutions integrators in USA. “iTERA is a product I can trust for my client’s HA/DR because it does what it’s supposed to do. The features of the new 6.2 version make managing the solution even easier, and we look forward to exporting replication statistics for analysis and building automation. I’m very comfortable upgrading my clients who rely on iTERA to the new release.“
