This solution is compatible with IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and IBM Sterling File Gateway, seamlessly integrating with IBM Sterling Control Center.
In today's business landscape, the exchange of diverse files and documents across various scenarios requires real-time capabilities. This places significant pressure on IT departments to construct a B2B integration platform that is not only highly available but also capable of executing just-in-time exchanges of critical business information and documents.
Adding complexity to this challenge is the common practice among companies to operate regionally dispersed data centers for both performance optimization and disaster recovery. Ensuring 24x7 availability involves considerable efforts and expenses, often involving the deployment of redundant software and hardware. IBM understands the difficulties faced by companies striving to meet the demands of high-availability operations while preparing for potential disruptions or disaster recovery.
In response to these challenges, IBM Sterling Global Mailbox serves as an optional component for IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and IBM Sterling File Gateway solutions. This high-availability mailbox feature facilitates geographical distribution and data replication, leveraging active/active communications. By utilizing functionality integrated into other IBM Sterling B2B Collaboration portfolio architectures and complementary technologies, Sterling Global Mailbox delivers a robust, high-availability solution spanning multiple data centers.
With IBM Sterling Global Mailbox, businesses managing regional data centers for customer service and performance optimization can now create and implement a high-availability architecture. Sterling Global Mailbox facilitates data storage across dispersed geographical locations, directing data to the nearest regional data center and promptly replicating it across centers in near real-time. Applications with enabled functionality can actively monitor mailbox events, triggering application-level actions, such as initiating subsequent processing steps.
