Data center consolidation

Data Center Consolidation enabled by ioEnterprise can save a company millions and provide effective disaster recovery/business continuity solutions.

ioEnterprise solutions allow you to consolidate mainframe consoles, secure those systems across networks (both inside and outside the enterprise), and manage mainframe events across your data centers using one efficient tool. The combination of these solutions is an ideal method for implementing data center consolidation initiatives across your organization.

The cost savings of data center consolidation are impressive and immediate. A data center managed by ioEnterprise solutions is:

• Remotely accessible from anywhere, at anytime via the internet
• Protected at the console and HMC level for complete security management
• Automated to escalate issues to the appropriate person (via email, fax, SMS message, etc.) anywhere in the world
• Easily monitored and managed with integrated event management tools, ensuring maximum up-time and quick resolution of issues

Many I/O Concepts customers have reduced outsourcing costs by bringing disaster recovery in-house. With remote access and control of your worldwide systems 24x7 via ioEnterprise, it is easy enable “lights out” disaster recovery data centers with limited staff required -- yet the systems are entirely accessible to your IT staff in other locations.

Take control of your own disaster recovery systems for maximum business continuity.

ioEnterprise allows you to set up disaster recovery sites that can remain in a lights-out configuration while not in use, but which can be powered-up to become your primary operations center when needed. This effective solution for in-house disaster recovery systems is a highly economical alternative to outsourced disaster recovery services.

ioEnterprise makes it easy to run a data center from a remote operations site, with its authentication and security along with web-based remote console clients.  Multi-layered and fully customizable user authentication permits secure local and remote disaster recovery operations from any PC that has Internet access.
