IBM Spends $300 Million For 13 New DR Sites
IBM plans to use these centers, with the online backup and other technologies it acquired in the purchase of Arsenal Digital Solutions, to provide DR services for those users and applications that can handle RTOs in hours at substantially lower cost than the traditional real-time replication to dedicated recovery systems. Taking advantage of Arsenal's cloud storage model, users can store their data in vaults at "Resilience Centers" and restore data to servers at the center or other alternate locations. With sites in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bejing, Shanghai, Warsaw, and Izmir, Turkey, in addition to New York, London, Paris, and Cologne, IBM is equipped to be a one-stop shop for multinational corporations looking for DR services. « Google Toying With The Idea Of Letting Users Mess With Search Results | Main | Wells Fargo CIO: No Budget Cuts Yet » |
