Re: High Availability Vendors

[Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I hope you can get that HA solution. We're a Mimix customer and I would
urge you to speak to customers and see how the products run in real life.
Honestly, we have to hold Mimix's hand throughout the day. Also, as with
the others I'm sure, there are certain things that Mimix just cannot do.
Take the Host Table, for instance - Mimix does NOT keep this in sync. Other
things we have issues with:
Distribution Lists
Printer and Folder Shares (QDLS and IFS) - if you share a new folder you
have to do so on your backup machine as well
Configuration objects

We've made a lot of headway in getting the product running the way we need
it to. With any solution you choose there will likely be a lot of time
spent trying to get it configured the way you want it. If there is an "out
of the box" solution I would like to know about it - because Mimix
certainly wasn't. But, with time they will all get better. The new remote
journaling seems to be something that should be beneficial.

Maybe next year, (whooping BIG maybe), we will get a HA solution.
Currently I know of the following:

I've forwarded this on to my boss.  Currently he's leaning towards Mimix.
I think that is because they've been out there a long time and do an
effective job of advertising if not for any features or functions.
Anyone have any pro's or con's about any of the vendors?
