With many levels of sophisticated security, IBM Power Virtual Server assures integrity and keeps our data safe from hackers and it relieves me knowing that the activities of my company are under security. Also their several great security characteristics make them the most reliable option for data encryption.

Yes data availability has improved. With it snapshot feature ,we do not need to wait for a backup tape to be returned from offsites before we can do a restore when there is a downtime and lost of application data. Our AIX servers hardly go down when patches are applied.
