-- Improved Role-Swap Process allows for customization and tighter
integration. The new one-button automated role-swap increases its ease and
efficiency; also, the process now includes a real-time monitor displaying
up-to-the-second status throughout role-swap procedures. "ORION Solutions
6.0 also comes with a pre-configured template used to verify if the system
is role-swap-ready," says John Dunn, senior product manager. "This gives
customers confidence they are ready for recovery in the event of an
unplanned production system failure. And the new customization features
allow users to insert their own logic at various points in the role-swap
procedure providing enhanced flexibility."
-- Improved ease-of-use enhancements dramatically improve overall
usability and effectiveness. The new menu structure allows object and data
replication to be configured together. The enhanced Navigator interface is
now available as a separate optional product and provides an enterprise-
class dashboard that allows easy monitoring of multiple systems from a
single screen.
-- Performance enhancements meet the growing demands of high-volume
enterprise environments. ORION Solutions 6.0 supports IBM's new IZ
transactions which greatly minimize bottlenecks by improving apply rates in
high-volume interactive environments. The product's performance cache and
improved small commit cycle processing also greatly benefit customers'
enterprise-HA environments.
"ORION Solutions 6.0 demonstrates our commitment to the products' diverse
customer set," adds Henry Martinez, Vision Solutions' senior vice president
of engineering. "An impressive stream of new innovations -- including
nearly 50 new functions -- are continuously incorporated into all of our HA
offerings as we continue to deliver and support the best products for all
of our customers' unique data protection and recovery needs."
ORION Solutions 6.0 supports the latest version V6R1 of IBM i (formerly
i5/OS). The software's many enhancements add flexibility and ease-of-use to
IBM's powerful operating environment.
