Constant Replicator is a high-performance, real-time file system mirroring software for Linux, UNIX and Windows servers. The software can be installed on existing file servers to provide scalable, continuous, real-time data replication of critical file data over existing networks to maintain enterprise-wide data consistency. As a result of the partnership between DataMirror and Constant Data, Constant Replicator can be integrated with DataMirror iCluster™, DataMirror’s iSeries high availability solution, to offer iSeries customers a single switchable high availability environment to handle multiple operating systems running on a single IBM i5 system.
“More and more customers are turning to IBM i5 as a platform to consolidate mission-critical applications that run on a range of operating systems,” said Mike Warkentin, IBM Alliance Manager, DataMirror. “But, regardless of the operating system deployed on an IBM i5, organizations will be secure in the knowledge that mission-critical applications are protected by the combination of Constant Data’s Constant Replication software and DataMirror’s iCluster high availability solution.”
By partnering with DataMirror, Constant Data realizes new markets for its Constant Replicator product and benefits Constant Data customers by providing a single switchable high availability solution. In return, DataMirror expands its commitment to IBM by providing a multi-platform high availability solution for IBM i5. DataMirror has more than 10 years of leadership in providing best-of-breed real-time data integration, data audit, data protection and Java database solutions that facilitate business success.
“As server consolidation becomes more important for iSeries users, customers are starting to realize that they not only need to protect their OS/400, but their Windows, UNIX and Linux environments, as well,” said Dick Landis, Director of Business Development, Constant Data. “The partnership between DataMirror and Constant Data positions both companies to meet the growing demand for a high availability solution that protects the multi-platform IBM i5. Customers of the two companies will have access to a wide array of solutions for their cross-platform data distribution and protection needs whether that need is for moving data from, or to, the iSeries.”
