LOAD enters into a strategic partnership with UK-based Celerity to strengthen its offering in validated cyber recovery and operational resilience for IBM Power environments in Sweden and the Nordic region.
In an era where regulatory requirements such as DORA and NIS2 tighten the demands for verified recovery capability, traditional backup or classic disaster recovery is no longer sufficient. Organizations must be able to demonstrate that their recovery points are tested, clean, and functional—before an incident occurs.
Through the collaboration with Celerity, LOAD introduces a more advanced framework for cyber resilience, based on IBM Power Cyber Vault methodology and continuous validation of immutable copies.
From Backup to Validated Recoverability
CopyAssure, now offered through LOAD, is a managed service for IBM i, AIX, and Linux on IBM Power that:
- Creates immutable, air-gapped snapshots every hour
- Performs automated complete system validation in a clean-room environment
- Ensures that only verified and malware-free copies are restored
- Reduces RTO from hours to minutes
- Documents recovery results for audit and compliance
This means that recovery is no longer an assumption—but a proven fact.
Support for DORA, NIS2, and Regulatory Requirements
DORA and NIS2 establish clear requirements for:
- Tested and documented recovery capability
- Continuous risk management
- Traceability and auditability
- Operational resilience in business-critical systems
Through validated cyber recovery and continuous testing in isolated environments, LOAD can now support organizations with:
- Documented RTO/RPO performance
- Audit-ready reporting
- NIST-aligned architecture
- Protection against ransomware and logical corruption
This strengthens both the security posture and regulatory preparedness.
Integrated Resilience for IBM Power
As an IBM Platinum Partner, LOAD combines:
- IBM FlashSystem and HyperSwap for high availability
- IBM Power Cyber Vault architecture
- CopyAssure for validated recovery
- Proactive monitoring and managed services
The result is a cohesive model where:
Availability + Cyber Recovery + Compliance + Operations Monitoring
are integrated into a comprehensive solution for business-critical environments.
Statement from LOAD
“Operational resilience is now a boardroom priority. It is no longer sufficient to simply have backups—you must be able to prove that recovery works. Through our partnership with Celerity, we can now offer validated cyber recovery for IBM Power environments in the Nordic region, while simultaneously supporting our customers’ compliance efforts with DORA and NIS2.”
