This IBM Redpaper will help you design a Business Continuity solution and presents a Business Continuity Solution Selection Methodology to assist in this process. It also provides information about IBM System Storage products that you can use in your solution.

Confused by terms such as switches, routers, bridges, OC3, DWDM, dark fiber? Networking is one of the most important technology components of any IT infrastructure. This IBM® Redpaper includes a brief tutorial on the terminology and discusses the concepts of networking. It is intended to: + Define and position the large number of networking technologies relative to each other, using the Open Systems Interconnect architecture to unify the technologies. + Promote a better understanding of many commonly used networking concepts so that you can better evaluate and select the appropriate networking components for your Business Continuity solution.

A disruption to your critical business processes could leave the entire business exposed. Today's organizations face ever-escalating customer demands and expectations. There is no room for downtime. You need to provide your customers with continuous service because your customers have a lot of choices. Your competitors are standing ready to take your place. As you work hard to grow your business, you face the challenge of keeping your business running without a glitch. To remain competitive, you need a resilient IT infrastructure. This IBM Redbook introduces the importance of Business Continuity in today's IT environments. It provides a comprehensive guide to planning for IT Business Continuity and can help you design and select an IT Business Continuity solution that is right for your business environment. We discuss the concepts, procedures, and solution selection for Business Continuity in detail, including the essential set of IT Business Continuity requirements that you need to identify a solution. We also present a rigorous Business Continuity Solution Selection Methodology that includes a sample Business Continuity workshop with step-by-step instructions in defining requirements. This IBM Redbook is meant as a central resource book for IT Business Continuity planning and design. The companion title to this IBM Redbook, IBM System Storage Business Continuity: Part 2 Solutions Guide, SG24-6548, describes detailed product solutions in the System Storage Resiliency Portfolio.

This IBM Redbook describes the copy functions available with the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server (ESS). The powerful ESS Copy Services functions are explained in detail, and their characteristics are thoroughly covered. This redbook also provides information on how to manage the various ESS Copy Services functions, and discusses their implementation. Because this book provides a broad understanding of the ESS Copy Services functions, as well as presenting details about the management interfaces and the implementation considerations, it is a recommended manual for IT professionals who are planning the implementation of any of the ESS Copy Services functions in an open systems environment, as well as for those who will manage these environments. This fifth edition of the redbook has been updated with the latest ESS Copy Services announcements: Asynchronous PPRC for a two site Disaster Recovery solution, a FlashCopy target can now be a PPRC primary, and other updates associated with ESS LIC 2.4.0. These include the ESS Model 750 overview, minor additions for ESS API support, Multiple Device Manager Replication Manager, and the Asynchronous PPRC Utilities for Open System Environment.

IBM® and ESRI are leading the development of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) solutions away from a specialized departmental technology into a more comprehensive enterprise-wide platform. Enterprise GIS now contains all the reliability, manageability, and performance requirements demanded by Enterprise Information Technology solutions. Customer demand encouraged IBM and ESRI to expand GIS enterprise solutions to use mainframe database repositories for spatial information and analysis. Therefore, IBM undertook a study at the IBM Eserver zSeries® Benchmark Center in Poughkeepsie, NY to determine how to utilize the zSeries platform in the ESRI GIS solution. WIth the successful outcome of this project, there is more to come from IBM and ESRI.
