"Migrating Your DR Program Into the 21st Century" – Robert Goodman, FL Hospital

Bob has been in data processing since 1977 and is the Senior DBA and Disaster Recovery Coordinator at Florida Hospital. He is a “Certified DB2 Professional” and “Certified Business Continuity Professional” who has been involved with DB2 since V1.2. Bob has been involved in all aspects of DB2 on z/OS. A few years ago he started the "FL Hospital Database Think-Tank" to develop techniques to push the limits of DB2. He has conducted extensive technical training and supports DB2 in a true 24 by 7 environment. He frequently presents at relational user groups, IDUG, IOD, disaster recovery conferences and is a member of the IDUG Speaker Hall of Fame.

Traditional disaster recovery can involve hundreds of jobs, requires precise setup and an exact run sequence. The management of this process under the best circumstances is tedious. The DB2 BACKUP SYSTEM and RESTORE SYSTEM commands offer potential relief. For those who can afford it, Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS) provides an optimal solution. But what about recovery of the myriad of other applications you must integrate with? This session will explore the 21st century world of remote replication as an enterprise-wide solution for disaster recovery. It traces the experiences, lessons learned, and pitfalls of a mega hospital as they migrated their DR program into 21st century technology.
