DR/VFI for Mainframe

DR/VFI for provides a holistic, integrated approach to recovery management to help minimize threats and break down the roadblocks to recovery. All information about file use and status is stored in our DR/VFI Unified Recovery Architecture database, and is used by our storage, recovery and reporting modules to ensure visibility and integration.

DR/VFI enables the automatic identification, backup, and recovery of files vital to mission-critical applications-such as as tape and disk files. Proven to protect the application environment, this integrated recovery management solution is designed to deliver a global view of your critical data-as well as that data's backups at the application level.

Our new DR/VFI v4.3 release delivers mainframe organizations with additional insight, protection and assurance related to their critical enterprise data.

• In-flight Job Identification capabilities for replicated environments to identify jobs in process if replication fails. This provides valuable insight into exactly where a recovery process should start based on what jobs and datasets were open at the time of the application break.
• Real-Time SMF Extractor reads SMF data for critical file usage and feeds it to our powerful third-generation Analysis Engine to determine file update and backup requirements-even for data that changes often, like batch applications.
