Datamirror, Lakeview and Vision are the three leading HA vendors.

There is work to   have it run but the questions are
what is your data worth, & how long can you be down?

Subject: High availability questions

I've been asked by a customer what it would take to setup
another AS/400 for
backup purposes. They will need guaranteed 24/7/365 availability.

They currently have a 270 which will be moved to a
co-location like Exodus,
then they will purchase another which will be at another
Exodus location.

I'm looking for general information about what we need to do.
I know that
we will need another AS/400 and some softare to replicate the data.

I know of datamirror and lakeview technology. Are there any others?

Last time I looked, these solutions were very expensive.
What we can expect
to spend?

Thanks.
