Meet the critical database cloning requirements

Many applications have critical requirements for quick and accurate IBM® IMS™ subsystem or mainframe database cloning. Rocket® Mainstar® Clone and Rename software allows administrators to clone entire IMS subsystems or select databases quickly and easily. Clone the subsystem or select databases to meet the need for production or development copies, recovery initiatives, query-only access, reporting or testing.

MEET BUSINESS DEMANDS

A faster, cheaper, and non-intrusive subsystem and database cloning process

As demand rises for usable clones, database administrators are tasked with managing an increased amount of application environments. Traditional methods for creating these environments require downtime and are lengthy, resource-intensive, manual processes.

The Rocket mainframe database cloning solution uses storage-based fast-replication to copy the volumes that contain your IMS subsystem data and database data. Fast-replication allows all data to be replicated nearly instantaneously, reducing copy time to a sub-second window thus maximizing the availability of the source IMS subsystem. Using storage-based fast-replication also lowers the cost of cloning by offloading the host resources normally used to copy the data to the storage processor, saving host CPU and I/O resources.

Customers who cloned their entire production system have gone from a several-day process to an average of 30 minutes to complete the entire cloning process.
