High Availability – Dual System i (Live & Backup)
Maintain an identical replica of your live applications (Data, Objects and IFS) on another System i. If your primary machine fails, all users can be immediately switched to the backup machine and continue from where they left off. As both machines are of similar size and power, either can act as the primary server.

*noMAX software on Primary System i |
£5,000 |
A full copy of *noMAX is required on both machines. Using the Software Tier rating of your iSeries, the table below will give you a guide to your software price. |
*noMAX software on Backup System i |
£5,000 |
If the backup machine is to support the full complement of users, it will need to be of similar size and power to the primary System i. The *noMAX software price will consequently be similar. |
Backup System i |
£16,750 |
If a second System i must be purchased, the price will, of course, be totally dependent upon the size of the machine required. In this example, an Power 6 520 licensed for 10 i OS users with approximately 700Gb of useable disk and a CPW rating of 4,300/4,300. The reality may be significantly different. |
