iTera Echo² 

 iTera is the leading developer and integrator of iSeries high availability and data management solutions.  iTera's commitment to providing affordable solutions and improving current solutions has helped iTera become the preferred choice in high availability.

iTera's most efficient, reliable, and automated high availability solution is Echo².  Echo² is an innovative, easy-to use solution that was built from the start using IBM's remote journaling technology.  This technology eliminates user/log spaces, vulnerabilities, and extra CPU cycles.  

Extensive autonomic functions mean less time to manage

-          Autonomic processes make Echo² easy and fast to manage - typically 15 to 20 minutes per day

-          Exclusive Concurrent Audit Concurrent Heal Echo² (CACHe2) technology ensures data integrity issues are immediately discovered and corrected in real-time and at the record level.

-          Journal components are automatically monitored and recreated when needed

-          Self-managing functions guarantee smooth switchovers and allow Echo² to be quickly installed with users trained in days, not weeks

Reliably mirrors all system-critical objects

-          Programs, data areas, data queues, IFS, user profiles, device configurations, spool files, triggers, constraints, Websphere MQ, and more are replicated in real-time

Reliable, easy-to-use switchover and failover

-          Since objects stay in sync, and latency is rare, switchover/failover is more reliable

-          Switchover process is automatic, ensuring a faster, less error-prone process

Scalable

-          Echo² scales easily to any size and type of replication environment

-          Individual features is easily enabled/disabled

Fast, easy installation

-          Echo² is installed and configured - with mirroring started - in a few hours

-          When installed on the production system, Echo² automatically installs on the backup

-          No need to save/restore objects - most mirrored objects sync quickly via network

Robust IFS replication capabilities

-          Echo² replicates IFS both on an object and a record level

-          Integrated, simple-to-use IFS auditing and monitoring functions

-          Efficiently replicates large IFS and DLO objects, as well as high transaction volumes
