IBM Power customers face increasing pressure to improve cyber resilience, meet datasovereignty requirements, and maintain reliable offsite copies, often without disruptingestablished backup processes or introducing new infrastructure. While cloud objectstorage is frequently part of the solution, integrating it cleanly into existing IBM Powerenvironments remains a challenge.

This session provides an overview of FalconStor Habanero, a SaaS-based approach tosecure offsite data protection designed specifically for IBM Power workloads. Habanerointegrates directly with existing backup applications and operational processes, enablingcustomers to create secure offsite copies without changing how backups are run today.

Attendees will get a practical look at how Habanero works, what makes it different, andwhy it matters for IBM Power shops looking to strengthen resilience without addingoperational complexity.

Key topics include:

- Extending IBM Power backup environments to secure offsite storage without workflow disruption
- How Habanero works at a high level, including a brief look at deployment options
- Security, immutability, compliance, and recoverability benefits
- Predictable pricing and what that means for budgeting and planning
- Real-world scenarios relevant to IBM i environments and IBM customers

The session wraps up with practical use cases showing how IBM Power shops canmodernize data protection, improve resilience, and keep things operationally simple.
