Vision Solutions, a provider of disaster recovery and data management products for IBM Power Systems, has released enhancements to EchoStream, its AIX real-time disaster recovery system. It is currently offering a free trial program of its software EchoStream.

The company said that it added new performance and automation enhancements into EchoStream 3.5. The enhancements include, Vision RightTime CDP for Any-Point-In-Time recovery; TimeView to improve productivity; AutoGuard for automatic notification and self-correction; and IntelliStart for installation and optimised configuration.

Reportedly, EchoStream 3.5 protects data through real-time replication. It provides data recovery in the event of software corruption, virus attack, deleted files or other causes of data loss. When combined with Vision’s EchoCluster for AIX cluster management system, businesses can benefit from automated failover to an alternate local or remote server.

Henry Martinez, senior vice president of engineering at Vision Solutions, said: The EchoStream enhancements offer great value and peace of mind for AIX customers seeking an easy-to-use and affordable backup solution. Version 3.5 is far more than a disaster recovery solution — Vision RightTime CDP easily integrates into AIX environments, protects critical applications and allows real-time access to the backup data through Vision TimeView.
