City Of Hoover Finds High Availability (HA) Solution For IBM System i (iSeries) To Protect Investments And Provide Business Survivability

For the city of Hoover, Alabama, a primary server runs a vital suite of integrated software applications used by city staff, departments, citizens and businesses. The city looked for a high availability (HA) solution that would protect its investments and provide business survivability for the city if a natural disaster or other emergency caused this essential system to go down.

"We wanted to avoid the situations that we've seen cities and businesses face when a disaster or failure happened. We had already been evaluating some options when Hurricane Katrina hit, and that was a real wake-up call for many people, us included," said Donaldson, Information System Manager for the city of Hoover.

Donaldson stated that the use of MIMIX IntelliStart™ technology dramatically accelerated the installation and confi guration process. "IntelliStart was a major factor in getting MIMIX HA up and running so quickly," he noted.

Donaldson had predicted a much longer installation and problem resolution period, and was very pleased with what the Dynamix and Vision Solution teams accomplished.
