Continuous data protection (CDP), also called continuous backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves. It allows the user or administrator to restore data to any point in time.
The average SMB has most of the same data protection needs as its larger competitors. But most SMBs can't afford a trained staff assigned specifically to storage management and protection. As a result, when they buy storage management software they look for solutions that are both less expensive and easier to use than traditional products. Download Now

For IT departments looking to bring their AIX environments up to the next step in data protection, IBM’s PowerHA (HACMP) connects multiple servers to shared storage via clustering. This offers automatic recovery of applications and system resources if a failure occurs with the primary server. But clustering only makes the server resilient, not the data storage. That is where real-time replication of the data store is essential. Learn all about how AIX data replication works and how it benefits HACMP clusters. Download Now
