RE: noob ASP question

["Jim Oberholtzer" <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The differences are vast.  The only commonality is both should have the
entire application journaled.  That's where it stops.  

PowerHA replicates by storage address whereas Mimix uses remote journals and
an application layer to push the data into the remote site.  If you need a
more complete answer we should start another thread.

So what's the deal with the IFS directory?  When the iAsp is varied off it
goes away?

Customer says the consulting firm is going to implement powerHa.  I'm
learning Mimix maintenance at another customer.  It will be interesting to
see the differences.

Thanks again.  Jack
