Mt Xia announced today that it has packaged it's automated Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery / High Availability / Virtualization deployment systems into an appliance based offering called "VLPAR". This appliance plugs into an existing IBM AIX datacenter environment and automates the deployment and implementation of business continuity (BC), disaster recovery (DR), high availability (HA), and virtualization (VIO).
A key feature of the VLPAR appliance is it's ability to expedite deployment of new systems and dramatically reduce project costs. Mt Xia claims VLPAR can reduce administration costs of deploying BC/DR/HA/VIO by 75% and can increase profits by fully implementing IBM Power 5 architectures, thus maximizing a datacenter operators return-on-investment (ROI).
The use of this appliance dramatically reduces the implementation effort required for highly complex tasks such as BC/DR/HA to a few simple business oriented concepts. These concepts consist of identifying the business function, business environment, and service level agreements. The associated technical specifications related to BC/DR/HA/VIO are automatically determined and derived by the VLPAR appliance based on the business concepts selected by the web based user.
Currently VLPAR supports IBM's Power 5 architecture, Power 6 architecture will be supported soon.
