i-2-S3 can be used for strategic backup operations where you want to save information off-line from your IBM System i and you don’t want to bother with the need for an operator or a tape drive.
Some strategic uses for i-2-S3 might include the following:
-
Saving a snapshot of an application at a critical point in time to create a baseline that can easily be
restored. A good example of this might be at the start of a complex nightly process or a complex month-end
closing.
-
Storage of programs and source code for legal reasons. Some companies are required to keep certain off-site
backups for legal reasons. Amazon S3 is well suited for this purpose. You can also use it to store year
and end month end data as needed.
-
Archival storage of application data that is periodically purged. This kind of data can then be retrieved
as needed for archival restore processing.
-
Storage of backups that might need to be restored to a different system. Amazon S3 can act as a storage
intermediary.
-
Critical offsite storage for key systems. With i-2-S3, this can be accomplished without the hassle of
checking tapes in and out and making pickup and delivery arrangements. When offsite information is
needed, it can be retrieved quickly
-
i-2-S3 save/restore processing does not require an operator to mount tapes, clear tapes or respond to tape
related messages, so they can happen at any point during the day or night.
-
For companies already storing web site components using Amazon S3, i-2-S3 can be used to automated maintenance
of those web site files from your IBM System i.
-
Distribution of IBM System i objects to multiple platforms in your network. You can upload once to Amazon S3
and then the individual platforms can download from there taking advantage of Amazon’s high end bandwidth.
- Saving copies of source code at a given point in time. This is useful for developers and programmers alike when they are starting a new project, to save a frozen copy of their source code that they can easily go back to.
