FlashCopy Solutions address the key requirement for continuous application availability by using the capability of the IBM Storage Subsystems (DS8000, DS6000, ESS 800, SAN VC) to generate data copies without imposing load on the application server ('zero' impact). These copies are then used for backup, for restore or for replication purposes.
