It goes beyond basic clustering by offering advanced automation, real-time hardware-based data replication, and seamless failover all tightly integrated with AIX or IBM i.

Traditional disaster recovery tools require manual operations to conduct disaster recovery operations  and tend to be expensive. PowerHA is platform-native, and policy-driven, designed for speed, clarity, and simplicity when managing. What makes PowerHA different is its deep integration with, the host operating system, automated failover, real-time hardware replication, and iin industries where downtime is not an option.
