Power by Fortra officially announced the launch of Continuity Care today from Minneapolis. Recovery Validation serves as a core foundation for this fully managed cyber resilience service. Furthermore, this turnkey offering specifically protects IBM Power and IBM i organizations worldwide. Recovery Validation routines help safeguard operations through comprehens
ive quarterly testing procedures. Moreover, customers can choose a full-service managed package or a streamlined offsite backup entry option. Power by Fortra brings over twenty years of deep industry expertise to the ecosystem. Currently, its broad software portfolio supports more than 7,000 direct IBM Power relationships globally.
Cutting-Edge Infrastructure and Cyber Protection
This new enterprise service depends on the FalconStor Habanero and Cloud Clean Room technology. Thus, this cutting-edge technology enables the technical team to have a complete infrastructure for recovery validation. Habanero protects data offsite using IBM Power by transferring data to immutable storage. In this way, clean data is available in spite of any production issues. Meanwhile, FalconStor Cloud Clean Room enables an isolated environment that runs on a Zero Trust Secure Enclave. Every recovery validation conducted every quarter is performed securely inside the isolated environment on IBM PowerVS. These technologies build a solid foundation for offsite retention.
Flexibility in Managed Resilience and Entry Options
Continuity Care offers different solutions according to each organization’s requirements at different organizational stages. Particularly, the total solution package includes Habanero and Cloud Clean Room along with managed services. The clients are provided with operational support along with detailed quarterly reports after each successful recovery validation process. On the other hand, organizations may opt for an entry-tier option focusing mainly on offsite protection. This initial tier delivers backup reporting to confirm that data safely lands offsite. Additionally, organizations can upgrade to full recovery validation testing whenever their requirements expand.
“According to our definitive 2026 IBM i Marketplace Survey, IBM i skills is the #1 concern among IBM i professionals, while 47% of respondents cited data recovery as a major issue, so this new joint offering with FalconStor addresses two of the top concerns in the market today,” says Geoff Fischer, General Manager at Power by Fortra. “Together, Power by Fortra and FalconStor are delivering a unique joint offering: a globally available, fully managed IBM Power Cyber Resilience and Recurring Recovery Validation Service that gives any mid-to-large IBM Power organization unparalleled confidence in their data recovery capabilities. And because Continuity Care is delivered as a flexible program, organizations can start with offsite backup protection and add full recovery validation and managed services whenever they’re ready.”
“FalconStor built Habanero and Cloud Clean Room to solve the recovery validation problem for IBM i and IBM Power environments, and Fortra is the right partner to bring that capability to market at scale,” said Todd Brooks, CEO of FalconStor. “Their team already manages critical operations for thousands of IBM Power customers, and Continuity Care lets them extend that relationship to enable recovery with real proof behind it.”
Ultimately, this joint service equips IT leaders with dependable recovery validation protocols. Thus, Fortra strengthens enterprise continuity across global IBM Power infrastructure.
