iSeries Business Continuity Services
Business Continuity is mission critical for most businesses, yet implementing a robust, properly secured, in-house disaster recovery solution can be prohibitively expensive. For iSeries customers, NSPI provides affordable, flexible business continuity services backed by market-leading expertise in the iSeries environment.
NSPI offers three levels of i5 Business Continuity services to suit the requirements of your enterprise. Pricing is flexible, depending on need, and is far less expensive than implementing such a system independently. All data is hosted at NSPI’s SAS70 Type II accredited data center facility. |
- Virtual Recovery On Demand: Take advantage of shared i5 resources that are pre-positioned to expand when you’re ready. Basic system resources can be stored offsite to help shorten your recovery time and get your business up and running.
- Virtual Availability On Demand: Using i5 shared resources, we replicate your entire system and can make it available on demand. Stepping up to this level can reduce downtime from days to hours.
- High Availability: Our most robust and flexible solution initiates two-way interaction between your system and a redundant, mirror site. With this scenario, downtime is no longer than the time it takes you to reach a remote, Internet-connected computer.

|
|
| All Business Continuity Services include a data and site assessment, availability plan development and on-demand recovery support. All services also include the one benefit for which there is no price tag: peace of mind. |

| Systems Monitoring & Management : 365 Days/Year 24x7 Coverage |
|
|
|
Systems Monitoring and Management is one of the most important IT services for any business to ensure systems are available and working properly, but it’s also one of the most overlooked and often forgotten. It falls to the bottom of the list because we work in an on-demand environment and the “on-demands” that take up the biggest portion of our day include fixing problems, helping end-users and trying to stay up with the technology needs of the business…there’s never enough time!
NSPI’s Monitoring & Management Services will keep an eye on your systems every hour of every day to proactively identify problems and automatically respond to them before they become one of those on-demand problems. The services will keep your systems up-to-date with the latest fixes, patches and PTFs to help ensure the highest availability of your systems. Then we’ll provide management reports on the health and status of your systems via on-line customer portals. |

Performance Management & Capacity Planning

NSPI’s performance and capacity planning services will provide you with the information needed to understand what’s going on with your system and the best actions to take to improve performance. Using industry best practices, we’ll identify the “current state” of system resources (CPU, Memory and DASD), jobs, user groups and trends to identify any bottlenecks. We’ll provide tuning recommendations and a gap analysis to plan for new users and workloads to support your business. The results of the service will provide you with the information you need to make confident decisions to improve your system performance.
Next Steps to get Started
NSPI has decades of experience working with the iSeries, with many NSPI team members being involved since the systems original announcement in 1988. Our team of skilled professionals understands the history of the system and equally important, what the future holds with recent i5 announcements. We’ll work with you to understand your requirements and provide recommendations to meet your needs. Request an NSPI representative to contact you today!
