If your business survival depends on your ability to keep your operations up and running, your IT organisation must find ways to protect against system failure in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. HP Serviceguard Solutions for Disaster Recovery extend Serviceguard even further to help you protect your IT operations by delivering data replication, failover and storage capabilities between geographically dispersed sites. These solutions utilise multiple data centres and multiple copies of users' data so that if one data centre fails, a second data centre is available to continue processing.
