IBM i is famously reliable, but reliability isn’t recoverability. Successful backup reports can hide a recovery confidence gap that only surfaces when it’s too late. Here’s why recovery testing gets skipped, what auditors and cyber insurers now expect, and how FalconStor Cloud Clean Room lets you validate recovery without touching production.

Is your IBM i backup strategy ready for today’s threats – or still built on yesterday’s assumptions?
Join us April 16th at 10 AM EST as our CTO and VP of Product break down what IBM i teams need to rethink right now when it comes to data protection and recovery. Reserve your spot.

Modern IBM i teams are rethinking traditional backup strategies. Learn how Fresche Solutions gained better compression and deduplication, met tighter backup windows, and simplified operations by transitioning to FalconStor StorSafe’s software-defined approach.

If you run mission-critical workloads on IBM i, you already know how solid it is. It is stable. It is resilient. It has been running core business applications for decades without drama. Because when something has “just worked” for 15+ years, we stop questioning whether the protection strategy around it has kept up. But, that may exactly be the problem. 

New eras aren’t just for stadium tours. With the release of FalconStor Habanero™, IBM i on-premises users enter a new era of secure, fully managed offsite data protection.
