Worried about downtime and the potential of resulting revenue loss? You should be. The issue of downtime is gaining increased exposure within organizations of all sizes as they confront the growing need to implement more stringent continuous data protection (CDP) solutions. The revenue loss for businesses experiencing downtime can sometimes cost millions of dollars per hour, which is bad enough but is made even worse when in many instances the data could have been saved if the right high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solution had been in place.
The problem for many companies in the iSeries technical community has been that traditionally only large organizations could afford the right HA and DR solution.
But not anymore.
Maximum Availability, a world leader in HA and DR software solutions has launched *noMAX scout, a free software offering that provides a valuable HA and DR tool and is designed as the first step toward providing the ultimate security of your critical business information. Yes, that's right: *noMAX scout is free with an easy-to-renew 90 day license key, so you don't ever need to buy it.
The *noMAX scout product utilizes the latest features of iSeries technology, including remote journaling. Unlike the *noMAX suite of products, which provide unlimited concurrent apply groups, *noMAX scout is an offering that is limited to one apply group and does not support dynamic file creates or object replication. It is, however, an ideal tool to use in test and training environments or in a tight situation for short-term replication requirements. And it's the perfect vehicle to provide familiarity with journaling and remote journaling to end-users.
*noMAX scout offers a quick and easy migration path to Maximum Availability's leading HA and DR software products: *noMAX sentry, *noMAX defender, or *noMAX garrison. And as with all Maximum Availability products, *noMAX scout is IBM Server Proven.
*noMAX scout has been developed from the *noMAX suite of products that have been successfully deployed in hundreds of sites in more than 30 countries.
