MIMIX is used by IBMi server-based organizations to provide real-time replication, typically for high availability and disaster recovery requirements. The product is designed to provide rapid planned or unplanned switches of all replicated applications and data in a quick and mostly seamless manner. The software is usually installed on replicated pairs but can also operate in multi-node environments. MIMIX allows for a granular definition of what is replicated and where it is replicated to. Bi-directional replication is supported. In addition, some organizations use the product for data propagation, such as moving real-time data to decision support-oriented applications.

- Successfully providing its intended use - HA/DR.
- Provides industry audit approval.
- Having an HA/DR solution in place is viewed as a positive by customers and potential customers for the marketing of the organization's core products and services.
Iterra is a less capable "little brother" product to MIMIX. Iterra like MIMIX was acquired by Vision, then subsequent owning organizations, now Precisely. Most of the original core Iterra functionality has been rolled into MIMIX. The Iterra product still exists but in a very limited role. Precisely and the previous owner has been very clear in their recommendation to standardize on MIMIX.
Yes. It does not make sense to purchase a high availability disaster recovery solution for seven by twenty-four mission critical applications, then to purchase or expect anything less than that same level of support.
Yes
Yes, But I am not sure it should have been refered to as a bug. Years ago, IBM released a new programming capability of which the organization was a very early adopter It was not known at the time but MIMIX had not yet built support of that new feature into its product. When the problem was identified it was determined that that support was planned for an update in approximately one year. Upon learning of the current customer issue, support got product development immediately involved. A temporary resolution for the issue was created and successfully implemented in less than a week.
This question was answered in the previous question about bug fixes. As previously stated MIMIX support quickly involved product development to provide a solution for a customer requirement which was not currently a feature of the product. This rapid resolution was accomplished in approximately one week. The agility of support and product development to quickly work together to meet a customer's need, which was clearly outside of contractual responsibility, was very impressive.

MIMIX saves the day
MIMIX Availability was being used by my organization across the whole organization. MIMIX's role was to provide high availability to the iSeries systems running the production ERP, Lawson M3, known now as Infor. MIMIX was installed on two similar iSeries systems, one located in the MDF, the other iSeries in the HA data center. MIMIX addresses the problem of having high availability in a business which requires close to 24/7 iSeries system up time. The warehouse is online 24/6, but the business website is near 24/7, with the only downtime due to tape backups at night. Bottom line, if the primary data center was to go down impacting the iSeries, the business would suffer, the labor force would be put on hold and the greatest impact would be on the retailers, the customers, whom drive the business.
- Redundancy - needs to be available at a moment's notice.
- Protection - the business would be greatly impacted, therefore protection of production systems is key to the business succeeding.
- Usability - needs to be user-friendly, easy to navigate and operate, as it will be required at any given time.
- Web interface needs some improvement. I can't recall the exact issue, but I do remember having to refresh the screen every now and then to see the update results as expected.
- Overall, there were some known bugs in the version the organization was utilizing. These were reported and know to be bugs and hopefully resolved in future release.

- MIMIX had a positive impact, as the organization has had to rely upon the unplanned switch.
- MIMIX definite must if organization is running i Series, and business needs are 24/7.
- Without MIMIX in place, the downtime impact to the business would have been great.
- MC service guard and Double Take
We used MIMIX for its role for iSeries high availability. We used Double Take by Vision Solutions for our production Windows environment. MIMIX is designed for iSeries, and Double Take was designed for Windows. We had VMware virtual environment, running multiple VMs for production ERP Lawson M3, now Infor. Both MIMIX and Double Take played the role well for what needed to be done. Without either MIMIX or DoubleTake, the business would have been impacted.
