Let us simulate a production failure to illustrate how 2.1 GDPS operates.
Total elapsed time for a non-disruptive test: Under 90 seconds. For an actual disaster: Under 5 minutes. 2.1 gdps
In the realm of mechanical engineering and metrology, GDPS refers to the system of symbols and rules used to define the geometry of a part. It is the evolution of traditional Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). A "GDPS" standard dictates how a designer communicates the allowable variation in form, orientation, and location of features on a 3D model. Let us simulate a production failure to illustrate how 2
3D printed parts (metal and polymer) have unique surface textures that are non-Gaussian and anisotropic. Legacy filters distort these textures. 2.1 GDPS allows engineers to accurately assess porosity and surface adhesion properties without introducing mathematical artifacts.

A regional bank in the Midwest ran their core transaction system on an IBM i 7.3 (E1080). Their legacy solution was "backup, ship tape, restore" with a 24-hour RPO. After deploying 2.1 GDPS across two DS8900 arrays separated by 12 kilometers (Metro Mirror), they achieved a zero-data-loss failover in a live test.
The bank’s IBM i administrator noted: *"Before 2.1, we spent three hours verifying JRN data after a drill. Now, GDPS presents the secondary as if nothing happened. We IPL and run CHKOBJITG—that’s it."
