Reliable, Cost-Effective Data Center Protection

If you're looking for affordable protection for the critical infrastructure that powers your business, look no further than HP Business Recovery Services for the Data Center.

HP offers leadership business recovery services for your z/OS or z/VM mainframe environment. As mainframe skill sets become more difficult to find, HP Business Continuity & Recovery Services takes advantage of its EDS legacy as one of the largest and most experienced mainframe management companies in the world to meet your recovery need. Our mainframe experts have provided mainframe disaster recovery support for hundreds of clients over the past four decades. With that expertise, you can feel at ease about the recovery of your critical mainframe-based business processes.

Choose the Service Level That Suits Your Recovery Needs

  • Business Recovery Core Service – provision of a mainframe with a starter operating system within 4 hours of disaster declaration (available to all customers)
  • Business Recovery Critical Service – provision of a mainframe together with recovery of your operating environment and base interactives within either 48 hours or 72 hours of disaster declaration (currently only available for HP Managed Mainframe customers)

While these services provide recovery times that are longer than those delivered by disaster-tolerant services, their cost is approximately 90 percent lower. This makes them an attractive alternative for a majority of IT-supported business processes.

To help ensure your successful recovery, HP limits shared subscriptions to each LPAR to 25 or fewer, and we geographically separate our subscribers. Annual expert-led disaster rehearsals help you meet or exceed your recovery objectives.

Additional value-enhancing features include:

  • Flexible contractual terms
  • Rehearsal scheduling within 90 days
  • Ability to carry out disaster rehearsals from your own site without travel—usually at no incremental cost
  • Industry-leading expertise in recovering complex distributed data center environments
