In case of an alarm event SEP IT-Safe starts the recovery process remotely. The first step is to boot an image of the original system or automatically migrate to an alternative system on a new physical or virtual computer in the SEP IT-Safe management console. A standard procedure is to boot from network. In the next step SEP IT-Safe starts the predefined recovery process automatically.
If a prebuilt standby system is available SEP IT-Safe can boot this system and the recovery process can be performed by the IT-SAFE management console. Other recovery scenarios due to customer needs are available. A special feature of IT-SAFE is the opportunity to add necessary information during any recovery process automatically. For example if new drivers are necessary for dissimilar hardware or if network connections needs modifications; The recovery process always starts with a hardware scan for all computer types to detect the necessary additional steps (e.g. another RAID setup for the new hardware) that need to be perfmed for a successful recovery.
