RE: Nonstop solution info. Mimix

[Dimitri Efimov <defimov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We use Mimix within 2 years, it works really hard (about 11000 PF objects),
but:
1. we have a problems with LF files on backup system. Sometimes the member
of the file disappear, therefore we application get error during OPEN
operation.
2. if the production system stop, U never know which part of information
still to be transferred. May be MIMIX with remote journal can solve this.
3. Mimix doesn't have a "proactive" monitor system. I mean, U can see the
current situation of the groups, U can see if there are replication groups
with error, but there is no tools to which
generate an alarm in case of error.

Because of all this it takes a lot of time to make a decision to switch to
backup system + 30 min. of switching time.

By the way we run a SINCCHECK weekly, and it helps to solve PF files errors,
but still no guarantee that all LFs are OK.

Hi,

I should start by clearly stating that my firm is a Lakeview (the
manufacturer of Mimix) Business Partner.  So you should understand my bias.

Clearly, the three state of the art solutions for 24 x 7 today is Mimix,
and it's two competitors.  Assuming that IBM delivers on their SOD of
libraries in independent ASPs in a future release, you might further
increase your uptime capabilities with a combination of Mimix and
independent ASPs.

When it comes out, we will have to see how good it looks, and is this a
better solution or not.
