CDP4i
The best tool to reduce your RPO
Continuous backup of modified data on IBM i to one or more independent storage servers — no second IBM i server required.
What CDP4i does
Continuous protection, granular restore
Continuous externalisation
- Continuous backup of modified IBM i data to one or more independent storage servers (FTP, S3, Softlayer, etc.)
Versioning & Restore
- Roll back to the last transaction after a logical incident
- Restore up to 1 minute before a physical incident
- RPO = 0 achievable in combination with IBM i hardware replication
Granularity
- File, library, or object granularity
- Configurable retention according to your policy
Why CDP4i
The reasons to adopt CDP4i
A modern approach to IBM i DRP, with no infrastructure overhead and no operational constraints.
Advanced protection
Against human errors, accidental deletions, and logical corruption.
Simple restore
Targeted and granular restore, without stopping your IBM i production.
Compatible
Integrates with any IBM i environment, without application changes.
No second IBM i server
No heavy infrastructure required — backup to standard storage.
CDP4i strengthens your storage-to-storage replication
Hardware replication synchronizes your IBM i partitions continuously — but it also faithfully propagates any logical corruption. By deploying CDP4i on your partitions, you add an independent protection layer: a continuous journal that lets you roll back to a clean state, before the incident.
- Protection against logical corruption, not covered by hardware replication
- Continuous journaling, independent of the storage replication engine
- RPO = 0, even in the event of a logical or application incident
