The use case is for high availability and disaster recovery.
I install it in organizations that work 24/7. They need a high-availability solution and a disaster recovery center because they don't want any downtime.

Nothing, it’s almost perfect.
I have been using it for 20 years.
It is very stable and continuously improved.
Scalability is perfect. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Positive
The initial setup is very easy, user-friendly, and not complex.
It mostly comes with all installed, an operating system, database, and security, all included in Power Systems. So users can easily install, configure, and use it.
It's integrated with other systems. You can run different systems from IBM Power Systems, AIX Linux, or IBM I operating system. It's also integrated into Windows systems and other databases and servers.
One administrator is enough for the deployment and maintenance. And for the programmers, it depends on the company's needs. Sometimes, one programmer or two programmers is enough. Sometimes more.
The ROI is good because it's a good investment because it's scalable. This means that because of its scalability, it's a good investment. When your business grows, you can easily upgrade your system without changing your programs and database. So your investment stays there.
The pricing is perfect. It's not expensive because it's all-inclusive. The operating system, database, security, different file systems. So, overall, it's cheaper than Oracle or UNIX systems with Oracle or Windows systems with SQL services. And the price-performance is much better.
Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.
It's a 99.9% working system, so you don't need too much technical services. And when you need them, you can easily find IBM technical services.
I primarily use Disaster Recovery Services as a backup for software systems.
Disaster Recovery Services could provide better value for money.
I've been using Disaster Recovery Services for over twenty years.
Disaster Recovery Services is stable.
The initial setup is easy and can be done in two to three days.
Disaster Recovery Services is expensive.
I would recommend Disaster Recovery Services to other users and rate it nine out of ten.
We primarily use the solution for a lot of general corporate purposes. We handle various finance programs and are doing data recovery based on the IBM solution.
The latest IBM environments are very powerful for our clients. They often use it as the first solution of choice in key business applications.
The infrastructure level of IBM's recovery systems could be improved.
I've been using the solution for over 30 years.
The solution is quite stable. We haven't run into any issues that cause crashes, bugs or glitches.
The solution works well for very large organizations. It can scale quite well.
The technical support is very good. We do have good communication with them. We have a very strong relationship with them due to the fact that we are a major partner in China. Our relationship with IBM is very good for both clients and partners.
The initial setup was complex. You need a lot of space on the OS and user levels. It's very complex for the design staff during the installation. You need a lot of time to set everything up. Then, you need a lot of tools to demonstrate this solution. The work is complex for customers.
Depending on the environment, deployment can take up to three months for a department.
Based on the size of the infrastructure and how many servers you are setting up, or if you have a big storage move, you might need anywhere from three to ten people to deploy the solution.
We're an integrator. We handle the implementation for our clients.
The pricing of the solution is based on the scale of the project or business. It's based on the server amount and the amount of data being stored. For our client, based on the amount of data they have, it may be around $20,000 USD. It could get much more expensive on the customer side.
There are additional costs as well. For example, a client would have to pay for technical support on top of other costs.
My company is an IBM partner.
We deal with this solution more on the service-side and in terms of offering up service parts. We do data protection too and handle recovery services for clients.
We use the on-premises solution as the cloud is not allowed in China.
I'd recommend the solution. However, it depends on the system a company has. It's not ideal for every type of company.
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. The system overall could use some improvements here and there.
