mainframes

Overview A general solution for database backup and recovery depends on many aspects and is different for every mainframe shop. HP can provide an independent analysis of specific situation and forecast a way to improve the current business by using various software and hardware techniques. In today's fast-moving online transaction environment, many businesses use applications that require access to IBM DB2 and IMS databases to make critical information for enterprise applications instantly available. It is therefore important that backup strategies for DB2 and IMS data changes be available.
