IBM Tivoli NetView Monitoring for GDPS, V6.2

The IBM NetView Monitoring for GDPS, V6.2 is a component in the IBM Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS) active/active continuous availability solution.

It authorizes and enables the monitoring capabilities provided in NetView for z/OS, V6.2, helping to create an automated, cross-platform DR solution at virtually any distance between a primary site and a recovery site.

These enhanced capabilities include:

• Monitoring of workload status
• Monitoring of the IBM Multi-Site Workload Lifeline product
• Monitoring of replication products and other managed elements
• Automation of events and processes

GDPS active/active provides a continuous availability and BC solution to support two or more data center sites separated by unlimited distance to help you achieve RPO and RTO goals.  continuous availability has been enhanced and updated to include a new configuration called Active-Query, which enables you to use the IT capacity in your secondary sites for query (read-only) transactions, thus exploiting a new workload balancing capability.

NetView’s capabilities in support of this solution include monitoring of workload status, the IBM Multi-Site Workload Lifeline product, replication products and other managed elements, as well as automation of events and processes for the solution to reduce recovery time and increase efficiency in the use of system resources.
