GDPS Introduced and Explained
This one-day course introduces and explains GDPS (Geographical Dispersed Parallel Sysplex) at a conceptual and terminological level. The concepts and capabilities of GDPS are fully explained, and the course will ensure that attendees clearly understand what GDPS brings to a mainframe environment, including the provision of continuous availabilty, zero downtime and robust disaster recovery.
This course is available 'on demand' (minimum 2 students) for public presentations or for one-company, on-site presentations.
It is also available live, over the Internet, via RSM's Virtual Classroom Environment service.
