What is IT resiliency?
Whether on-premises or in the cloud, your IT resiliency is your ability to adapt to planned or unplanned events while keeping services and operations running continuously.
When you have the highest IT resiliency, your data remains available, your IT infrastructure stays operational, disruptions are minimized, and service levels are restored quickly.
What’s the risk of downtime?
In today’s world, where “always on” has become the status quo, downtime is increasingly expensive and unacceptable. Businesses must reinforce their IT resiliency to avoid lost revenue, regulatory penalties and damaged reputations.
Lost revenue
88% of businesses lose USD 300,000 per hour and 40% lose USD 1.5 million or more.¹
Regulatory penalties
Government regulation, monitoring and inspection add pressure to deliver continuous availability.
Damaged reputations
Customers expect 24x7 availability. If a digital service is unavailable, the backlash can be swift.

* 99.99999% disclaimer: Internal data based on measurements and projections was used in calculating the expected value. The z15 servers must be configured in a parallel sysplex using z/OS 2.3 or above; GDPS management of data and middleware recovery across Metro distance systems and storage, including GDPS Metro Multi-site Workload and GDPS Continuous Availability; and DS888X with IBM HyperSwap. Necessary resiliency technology must be enabled, such as System Managed CF Structure Duplexing, Sysplex failure management and Capacity Provisioning Manager. Other configurations may provide different availability characteristics.
