SteelEye Technology announces support for IBM System i platform

SteelEye Technology announced the expansion of its product set with the immediate availability of its high availability clustering, continuous data protection and disaster recovery solutions for IBM’s “all-in-one” System i business computing platform.

SteelEye’s product portfolio is now available to run within Linux-based partitions across the System i portfolio and on IBM System x and Bladecenter servers running the Windows operating system that are integrated with System i via iSCSI technology. In both environments, SteelEye’s products support configurations with i5/OS – System i’s flagship operating system — providing virtual storage to the Linux and Windows environments.

“IBM is pleased to have SteelEye bring its product portfolio and data protection, disaster recovery expertise to the System i platform,” said Jim Herring, director IBM System i products. “Enterprise deployments of Linux and Windows on System i demand a robust systems environment as well as data and application protection and disaster recovery of business critical applications.”
