Business Continuity Accelerator Non-Disruptive Failover Test
What is a non-disruptive failover test?
• Primary (production) system can remain online for business – it does not
Halt/Load

secondary system
• Confirm
The secondary system configuration is actually capable of failover
Overall failover plan is viable
All of the data is being replicated before committing to a failover
• The test image can be used for real business applications and periodically
updated

Poll Question #3
Currently the ClearPath MCP release includes most of the products needed to run a ClearPath MCP server. They are integrated and tested together. Some Unisys products and most partner products are released separately. How well does this work for your organization?
1. It works well as is.
2. We’d prefer that Unisys include more products in the ClearPath MCP release.
3. We’d prefer that Unisys break the ClearPath MCP release into several smaller releases that become available at different times. This will enable us to pick-and-choose what we use and do the integration ourselves.
4. Don’t know/not applicable
