OUR SOLUTIONS GIVE TIME TO YOUR TIME

• Flash for i
  => will manage from the IBM i LPAR the SnapShot feature (also called FlashCopy) of your external storage, to do “instant copies” (some microseconds) of all your IBM i production disks !!!
  => before the SnapShot, ‘Flash for i’ will perform a flush (=”quiesce”) of active Data in Memory to the external disks = some seconds to one minute (rarely more) !!
  => then ‘Flash for i’ will start a ‘clone’ LPAR using the ‘cloned’ disks, changing only 5 system parameters to make this partition inoffensive (with a different IP, without any batch or autojob activity, etc …)
  => finally ‘Flash for i’ will request to the ‘clone’ LPAR to do what is planned :
  – Backup : User backup, BRMS backup, Save21, …
  – Reconfiguration of the LPAR for activities such as: Queries, SQL requests, Analytics, ETL, … or  Test, Acceptance, Pre-prod, … or Validation, Recovery, …
  => Last but not least, ‘Flash for i’ can perform every day 1, 2, 12, 24 SnapShots only to keep on your disks regular “RECOVERY COPIES”  (note: 1 copy needs generally only 5% of used disk space) . Of course ‘Flash for i’ manages the IBM ‘SafeGuarded Copy’ feature and will be able to start these recovery copies for Tests or for Real recovery situations!
  => ‘Flash for i’ provides many messages, logs, reports and dashboards to ease administration and has options to secure and centralize operations.
  

Imagine all you could do every day with an instant CLONE of your production partition !!!
