Disaster Recovery Site Setup
The Challenge

In our recent project, we faced the challenge of supporting the Client's Disaster Recovery Testing initiative for their IBM Storwize V5030 system. The task involved implementing a new IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre production environment while repurposing the old V5030 as a replication target. Our main challenge was to ensure seamless synchronisation between the V5030E (source) and V5030 (target) systems and conduct a simulated disaster recovery scenario to validate functionality.

The Solution

To address the challenge, we meticulously implemented the new IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre. We established a robust plan to synchronise data between the V5030E and V5030 systems, ensuring data integrity and continuity. Rigorous testing procedures were implemented to simulate a disaster recovery scenario, guaranteeing that the systems could seamlessly switch over in case of an actual emergency. Our team monitored the process to mitigate risks and ensure a successful transition.

The Benefits

As a result of our efforts, the Client's Disaster Recovery Testing initiative for the IBM Storwize V5030 system was completed successfully. By implementing the new V5030E system and configuring it for replication with the existing V5030, we enhanced the disaster recovery capabilities of the data centre. The thorough testing and validation procedures conducted during the project provided the Client with confidence in the reliability and effectiveness of their disaster recovery setup. This project ensured data protection and system continuity and improved the overall resilience of the Client's IT infrastructure in the face of potential disruptions.
