Business Resiliency on Tour: The Information Availability Institute and IBM(R) Host Workshops Worldwide.Free Half-Day Seminars Provide Strategic Roadmap for Solving DATA PROTECTION AND IT Downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. Issues OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. -- Data protection. Tape backup Using magnetic tape for storing duplicate copies of hard disk files. Users can add an internal or external tape drive to their desktop computers for backup purposes, and files are typically copied to the tapes using a backup utility that updates on a periodic schedule. . Continuous data protection. Disaster recovery. High availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. . Wherever organizations are on the path to protecting data and applications, a new series of free half-day seminars, sponsored by IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) and Lakeview Technology's Information Availability Institute, will provide the information needed to tackle the toughest business resiliency issues of today. Interested IT managers, executives and compliance officers can register by going to http://www.lakeviewtech.com/events/iai_workshops.asp. The workshop will discuss how the information availability continuum affects the business process, explain how the costs and consequences of business downtime can be measured and how to set and achieve availability objectives. Participants also will learn how to calculate business resilience ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system.
