Re: IBM i Hosting - Disaster Recovery

<Vendor Response>
Brian,
Pete Massiello and I own and operate iInTheCloud which has data centers on both sides of Michigan, the primary center being just south of Grand Rapids.

We utilize VTL replication for such services. IN this was your backup tapes are duplicated here and kept available in case of recovery. We offer different levels depending on your need but it sounds like you'd likely want to do a test recovery annually to assure you are in fact backing up everything and could restore if needed. BRMS plays very well with this solution.

We would typically build a VPN tunnel to your site for both the tape replication as well as access to your partition on our site for testing and in case of an actual emergency. Our facility has pretty much every provider connected to it so if you desired a private connection we can work with that as well.

Check us out at www.iInTheCloud.com, send me an email at lbolhuis at iInTheCloud.com or call me at 616.260.4746 if you have any questions.

Hello All,

I'm interested in recommendations or contact from companies that can provide IBM i hosting options, specifically for disaster recovery. We've got our own primary system that I anticipate we'll be upgrading and continuing to use in a production mode. What we're looking for is a company that could work with us to provide hosting for DR purposes.  We can work out the specifics of how we get our backups to the DR site and so on once the conversation starts.

For now I'm just looking for some references / recommendation on good companies that could provide such a service that I could talk with.

You can contact me on or off list, whichever is appropriate.

Thank you,
Brian
