If you're looking for a reliable high-availability product, you should take a look at iTera Inc.'s Echo2 High Availability, Release 4.2.

Echo2 High Availability replicates data in real time to a backup iSeries environment and provides switchover/failover capabilities. It eliminates or dramatically reduces downtime from tasks such as tape saves, operating system upgrades and hardware upgrades, as well as system failures and site disasters.

The judges raved about a new technology included in this release -- concurrent Audit Concurrent Heal for Echo2 (CACHe2) -- that dramatically reduces the delay between the discovery of a data integrity problem and its resolution. CACHe2 automatically discovers and corrects date integrity problems in real time at the record level. That process eliminates the need to resynchronize entire objects when an out-of-synchronization condition is detected, which significantly reduces bandwidth traffic between mirrored environments.

"This tool provides great function, with CACHe2 automating the detection and correction of data integrity problems at the record level," one judge said. "You also see a key performance enhancement by reducing replication bandwidth requirements."
