$300m IBM Investment in Business Continuity and Resiliency Services via 13 Global Data Centres in 10 Countries

26th September 2008 by razchaudary

IBM has spotted an opportunity to fulfil growing global demand from businesses and governments to avoid, prepare and recover operations from disruption.

This is the  biggest investment IBM has yet made in this area, according to Brian Reagan, who directs the company’s global strategy and portfolio management group.
IBM provides data storage on as-needed basis. In the event of a service disruption, the company said its datacentres would be able to electronically process the shift in information from customer sites in order to restore service in a reasonable amount of time.

The service is expanding its capability of  running multiple customers  datastreams on a single machine with a single application to more complex  multi-tenancy systems supported via a recent acquistion. IBM capability was  further strengthened by the recent acquisition of Arsenal Digital Solutions, who specialise in providing data storage and application usine rack-mounted storage appliances.
