High availability

CDP4i-HA

Replication at the service of your RTO

Real-time replication between IBM i partitions, enhanced by the power of CDP4i, to restart your production in minutes.

Key features

Replication + Continuous Data Protection

CDP4i-HA combines the robustness of classic replication with the granularity of CDP4i to offer you the best of both worlds.

  • Real-time replication + integrated Continuous Data Protection
  • Guarantees the continuity of your IBM i operations
  • Benefits from the power of CDP4i, even in standby mode

Why CDP4i-HA

A failover without surprises, without extra costs

Fast restart

Production resumes after transferring users to the standby server.

Always protected

Even in standby mode, your data remains protected by CDP4i.

Role swap

Switch the
production ↔ standby role without extra cost or heavy reconfiguration.

Regular testing

Testable and industrialized failover procedures for your DRP audits.

Architecture flexibility

No architecture limits

CDP4i-HA is not limited to a single replication topology. We design the architecture that precisely fits your infrastructure, cost constraints, and availability requirements.

Topology examples


01

Classic replication

1 → 1

One production partition is continuously replicated to a dedicated standby partition — the most common configuration for critical IBM i environments.

PROD · IBM iBACKUP · IBM iREPLICATIONStandard setup · one production replicated to a dedicated backup

02

Shared replication

N → 1

Multiple production partitions share a single standby partition — a cost-effective solution for multi-partition environments with differentiated criticality.

03

Cross replication

1 ↔ 1

Each production partition acts as the other's standby — symmetric high availability with no additional dedicated hardware.

PROD A · IBM iPROD B · IBM iREPLICATIONSymmetric failover · each production backs up the other

04

Redundant replication

1 → N

One production partition is replicated to multiple standby partitions — maximum protection level with geographic failover capability.
