CopyAssure: Automated Recovery for IBM Power & PowerVS Environments

Backup answers "do we have a copy?"
CopyAssure answers "can we recover, how fast & with confidence?"

Your IBM Power systems run payroll, ERP, supply chain and the operations your organisation depends on. If your backup set is compromised, or recovery fails when you need it most, the consequences extend far beyond downtime. For IBM i, AIX and Linux workloads, recovery can take weeks or even months, resulting in costly manual workarounds, operational disruption and increased regulatory scrutiny. Not because the ransomware attack or outage was unstoppable, but because recovery was never validated before it mattered.

Traditional backup solutions are designed to protect your data. Recovery assurance is designed to prove your business can recover.
CopyAssure validates that your IBM Power environment can be restored quickly, cleanly and in a state that meets both operational and regulatory expectations.

Safeguarding Your IBM Power Data with CopyAssure

Celerity's advanced cyber recovery and data resilience solution for IBM Power Systems supporting IBM I, AIX, Linux and IBM Power Virtual Server (Power VS) environments.

Built for mission-critical workloads, CopyAssure helps organisations protect, verify and recover data with confidence after a cyber attack. It delivers automated, continuously tested recovery using secure, immutable backup copies.

By combining cleanroom validation, immutable storage and end-to-end orchestration, CopyAssure ensures your business can recover faster, minimize downtime and maintain operational resilince, even in the face of the most disruptive cyber threats.

Recovery Failures (will recovery work?)

Most organisations have never successfully tested a full IBM Power recovery under real conditions. When an incident occurs, that untested assumption becomes an operational crisis.

Unknown Recovery Times

Recovering IBM i, AIX or Linux environments after an incident is complex. Without continuous validation, your RTO is an estimate - not a commitment you can stand behind.

Untested recovery processes introduce the delays that regulators and boards will scrutinise most.

Data Validation Gaps

Corrupted or incomplete data saved into a backup set goes undetected until recovery is attempted. By then, the clean copy you needed may no longer exist.

Unplanned Recovery Process

Recovery under pressure is not the time to improvise. Disparate tools, manual handoffs and undocumented steps introduce the human error that turns a manageable incident into a prolonged outage.

What is CopyAssure?

Copy Assure is Celerity’s automated cyber-resilience and recovery solution designed specifically for IBM Power, IBM i, AIX, Linux and PowerVS environments.

It creates isolated, immutable backup copies and continuously tests recoverability to ensure organisations can restore systems quickly in the event of an outage.

How does CopyAssure protect IBM Power workloads?

CopyAssure takes secure, scheduled snapshots of IBM Power, IBM i, AIX and Linux workloads, isolates them from production, applies immutability and verifies each restore point in a clean test environment.

What differentiates CopyAssure from traditional backup tools?

Unlike standard backups, CopyAssure combines immutable backups, air-gapped snapshot protection, cleanroom validation, and regular recovery testing. This ensures backup copies are not only protected but proven to be recoverable for compliance purposes.

This assured, rapid recovery reduces downtime and keeps businesses running smoothly.

How does CopyAssure improve recovery performance?

CopyAssure uses automated workflows and validated recovery points to enable faster and more predictable RTOs and RPOs.

For example, one of our CopyAssure clients saw:

Their daily tape switch to hourly copies
Their 12-hour tape recovery reduce to a 20-minute snapshot recovery
A 96% improved recovery overall

What kind of businesses need CopyAssure?

Any organisation running critical workloads on IBM Power (IBM i, AIX, or Linux) needs CopyAssure. This is especially true for those that must guarantee clean, proven recoverability from a compliance perspective. This includes sectors like:

Retail
Finance
Manufacturing
Public sector
Healthcare

In short, any industry where downtime, data corruption, or failed restores can cause major operational, financial, or compliance impacts.

Disaster & Cyber Recovery

Lock in unshakeable cyber resilience: 24/7 monitoring, instant response, and top‑tier data protection combine to keep your data safe and recoverable, while keeping downtime to a minimum.
