This session will overview how GDPS, IBM's multi-site application availability solution, integrates key availability technologies such as z/OS, z/VM, Linux, and remote copy technologies with automation to enhance application availability and improve DR for z/OS, VM, and Linux on z. The enhanced GVA, GDPS Virtual Appliance, which runs on LinuxONE systems with z/VM and Linux guests will be highlighted. GDPS offers the state of the art in terms of performance towards continuous availability. Additionally, GDPS offers our clients a way to fulfill their regulatory and business compliance requirements by granting them "insurance" in case of a disaster (i.e., disaster recovery - DR) and providing high availability (HA) as well as ease and continuity of operations (CO).
