Apex offers different solutions for different circumstances.  These include but are not limited the following:

• Resilient Infrastructure - e.g. redundant power supplies, RAID and Mirror protection for disk, other redundant and resilient features such as processor cards and service processors
• Backup and Restore methodology - simple to complex backup solutions featuring IBM system storage backup solutions – tape drives to libraries - and including Veritas Backup Exec, Veritas Netbackup, Tivoli Storage Manager Express, Tivoli Storage Manager, System i Backup and Recovery Media Services.
• Disaster Recovery Solutions – business data is protected and may be made available in the event that the computing environment is critically impacted.
• High Availability Solutions - is defined as a method by which business data and applications are written in real time to another system and continue to be available in order to allow the user community to remain productive.  This level of survivability assumes and requires that the remainder of the computing environment is functional.  This offers both an improved recovery point and recovery time over Disaster Recovery.

Apex recommends considering the above approach for IT infrastructure, and can help work through the methodology to provide an infrastructure that is as resilient and available as the business requires. For High Availability solutions we work with ‘best of breed’ HA partners.
