MIMIX Review

Replication Protection and Switching Capabilities. The product allows you to replicate critical data and system objects to a target server to be used for backups and failover.

We can perform system maintenance such as OS upgrades on the production system after switching the business to the target system.

Monitoring tools can be improved but are very useful already.

I've used it for 15 years.

No, as long as you have adequate bandwidth in place between the systems. I recommend you use a certified consultant for the deployment.

No issues encountered.

Excellent. Their team is very knowledgeable and responsive.

No previous solution used.

It's complex - you need to have a detailed understanding of the environment, and the AS/400 system in general. Network, security, and applications are all part of the process.

We used a certified consultant who is an IBM partner.

I am not in finance, but we are utilizing the solution to reduced planned, and unplanned downtime, which can cost the organization hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour.

Not much room for negotiation, but you can try to get at the least first three years of maintenance included in initial cost.
