The key to true business agility is a database infrastructure that is easy to administer while reliably pushing the boundaries of performance and availability.  Business agility is threatened or destroyed when a disaster occurs.  A database disaster can be anything ranging from an application error that destroys or corrupts data to full datacenter loss. 

To remain in control, a datacenter DB2 recovery solution must be as simple as the daily maintenance on the system.  A disaster of any size is no time to be trying to make decisions or follow exhaustive procedure manuals step-by-step.  Any process that has several steps is prone to human error and further cost to the business. 

Unfortunately, all disasters have the same consequence, but not the same resolution.  There is a range of solutions for different types of errors.  For example, an application error may be best remedied by an SQL UNDO/REDO and thus limiting or eliminating the effect on other applications.  Whole system disasters call for full system recoveries from the ground up.  Then there is the entire recovery landscape in between.

CDB offers a full recovery solution for DB2 z/OS from SQL UNDO/REDO to full system recovery, including Database Mirroring, all at the touch of a button.  There is no decision making at recovery time and the highest skilled DBAs who set up the solution to fit the business needs do not even have to be at the recovery site.  All that is required in all instances is a single recover statement.  CDB’s intelligent processing does the rest to recover your system or applications in the way your business requires with no extra manual intervention.  The end result is a streamlined DB2 environment that remains flexible without surprises.
