How it works

Highly automated Journal-Driven Configuration takes the complexity out of setting up replication. No need to modify or change your existing journals or libraries either. Journal-Driven Configuration intelligently enrolls everything into replication ‘as-is’ without risking potentially disruptive changes.

Once replication begins, Assure MIMIX constantly monitors for changes in libraries and journaling, such as newly added journals or objects, and responds by automatically configuring and starting replication accordingly, to ensure complete and uninterrupted HA/DR protection.

The browser-based GUI speeds installation simplifies managing and monitoring HA and DR. Its mobile-friendly dashboard is color-coded for at-a-glance monitoring and drill-down, keeping you in control at all times, no matter what device you have at your fingertips.

Easily customized, built-in switching procedures ensure fast, totally automated failover in response to unplanned outages and safe, controlled on-demand switching to eliminate downtime during upgrades and planned maintenance.

Assure MIMIX easily extends and scales replication to enable real-time data distribution for queries and reporting, advanced business analytics, DevOps, ecommerce and more. And it is IBM i OS, server, and storage system version agnostic, so you can extend Assure MIMIX protection to all your IBM i systems.

Assure MIMIX includes many other features and capabilities that make it the HA and DR solution of choice for on premises, multi-site site, and cloud-hosted protection, including across geographies and in Managed Services environments:

• Virtual switch testing
