> This is for a trading room and down time must be nill. (Hi loss of $
> for traders not trading.)
> 
> I have started looking at MIMIX and Vision high availability
> solutions. For 2 as/400's (one is a hot backup)  in different
> buildings. All users are connected to the AS/400 via Token Ring and CA
> for NT,  the desktops are NT 4.0. 
> 
> If you have experience with either please explain how well each
> product performs in the following areas:
>       Fall Over  (move of users from primary to secondary system. Time
> for fall over)
>       Fall Back ( move of users back to the primary system and re-sync
> of systems) 
>       Data base replication
>       Object replication (pgms, message files, data queues, user
> spaces etc.)
>       Security (profiles and object)
>       Type of intersystem connections
>       Performance impact

> If any one knows of a user that switched from one product to another
