Vision Solutions, a leading high availability and disaster recovery solutions provider in the IBM Power Systems markets, today announced the availability of a new Vision PowerPack for POWER7 Migration. This exclusive offering combines Vision Solutions software with the latest IBM POWER7 technologies to deliver cost-effective, turnkey solutions supporting virtualized, energy efficient and highly resilient nonstop operations, the company said.
Vision Solutions’ research through the Information Availability Institute indicates that approximately half of the respondents say they intend to upgrade to IBM’s Power Systems platform, but a lack of time is one of the concerns cited by those not currently upgrading. Vision’s PowerPack for POWER7 Migration is designed to eliminate these hurdles, enabling customers to migrate to POWER7 with minimal downtime.
“This new offering provides valuable protection in a nonstop world by addressing any migration concerns customers have while enhancing the resilience of their Power Systems environments,” says Edward Vesely, Vision Solutions’ senior vice president of Marketing. “Our new migration PowerPack extends IBM’s POWER7 offerings by migrating and protecting critical systems for organizations of all sizes, especially mid-market to large companies.”
By combining complementary hardware and software technologies, the migration offer enables customers to benefit from IBM’s new platform. Vision Solutions’ cost-effective technology virtually eliminates the enormous downtime traditionally associated with system upgrades and migrations, the company says.
“The new POWER7 system represents a true leap forward in minimizing complexity, reducing energy consumption, and other operational costs," says Stephanie Carmel, IBM's vice president of ISV Solutions, Systems & Technology Group. "Designed to provide four times the performance in the same energy envelope as POWER6, the POWER7 delivers unprecedented performance for both transactional and throughput computing.”
Market requirements for the PowerPack offerings were developed with a growing list of customers implementing IBM and Vision’s integrated availability solutions.
