Summary

CopyAssure – Clean, Fast, and Secure Cyber Recovery for IBM PowerVS

CopyAssure is Celerity’s advanced cyber recovery and data resilience solution for IBM Power Virtual Server (PowerVS) environments, supporting IBM i, AIX, and Linux.
Built for mission-critical workloads, CopyAssure delivers automated, verified recovery using continuously tested backup copies. Based on IBM’s Cyber Vault blueprint, it combines frequent data copies, immutable storage, cleanroom validation, and end-to-end orchestration—helping organisations recover with confidence from even the most disruptive cyberattacks and more.

CopyAssure can also be leveraged to spin up clean, digital twin system copies for testing, development, or even AI training—without risking the integrity of the core environment.


Key Features


Scheduled Snapshots, Cloning & Exports with Continuous Testing

CopyAssure orchestrates scheduled snapshots, volume clones, and optional image export to IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) to provide layered, resilient recovery points with immutability. These are continuously tested to demonstrate recoverability within defined RPO and RTO thresholds.

To extend assurance further, the service includes automated system validation through a proprietary virtual operator. This technology emulates real user interactions—such as 5250 terminal sessions for IBM i, and interactive workloads for AIX and Linux—to verify that systems are fully operational post-recovery.


Proactive Air-Gapped Copies

CopyAssure leverages PowerVS volume clone technology to create logically air-gapped snapshots. This approach provides an additional layer of defence against ransomware and insider threats by ensuring backup copies are inaccessible from compromised systems.


Immutable Data Protection

CopyAssure supports image export to IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) using write-once, read-many (WORM) storage, providing immutable backup copies protected against tampering, deletion, or ransomware encryption. This capability supports long-term data integrity and aligns with regulatory and audit-readiness requirements.


Continuous Recoverability Validation

Aligned with IBM’s Cyber Vault methodology, CopyAssure provisions secure cleanroom environments to validate cloned backups prior to restoration. This process proves that a system is fully recoverable through controlled boot procedures, OS-level checks, and bespoke validation of user activity and application services.

The validation framework includes multiple stages:

  • T1 – System Validation: Confirms successful boot and core OS integrity
  • T2 – Application Validation: Verifies application availability and service responsiveness
  • T3 – Data Validation: Confirms access to critical data and consistency within key datasets

This multi-layered approach ensures only clean, operational recovery points are promoted for restoration.


Fully Automated Workflow

CopyAssure delivers end-to-end automation across backup validation and recovery orchestration. By removing manual steps, the service improves consistency, reduces human error, and accelerates recovery across complex environments—enabling repeatable, policy-driven execution at scale.


NIST-Aligned Architecture

CopyAssure is aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, supporting the core functions of Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. This alignment helps organisations strengthen their cyber resilience strategy, meet regulatory expectations, and streamline audit readiness.


Operational Continuity

CopyAssure enables secure, verified recovery without interrupting production systems. All validation and testing occur in isolated cleanroom environments, ensuring non-disruptive assurance for high-availability workloads and regulated operations. This supports continuous business operations, even during threat response or audit preparation.


Cost Efficiency

CopyAssure helps reduce both direct and hidden costs associated with cyber recovery—including unplanned downtime, manual recovery labour, extended investigation cycles, and potential ransomware-related losses. Automated processes and cleanroom validation reduce operational burden while accelerating time-to-recovery.


Peace of Mind

With immutable storage, automated cleanroom validation, and proven recovery workflows, CopyAssure gives organisations confidence that every restore point is secure, tested, and reliable. This assurance supports both operational resilience and regulatory compliance.
