Lightning Extend™
Lightning Extend can quickly and automatically increase the size of a Fast Path database in real time. For many businesses, this capability is vital. If critical systems are not available—even for a short time—business can be lost. Outmoded solutions include unloading and reloading data to a temporary data set or performing a reorganization—both time-consuming and disruptive. In a fraction of the time that other solutions require, Lightning Extend can resolve out-of-space conditions.
Lightning Extend increases the size of select DEDB areas or the entire database. Application availability is immediately improved, outages are avoided, and transaction processing continues. Lightning Extend gives you the:
