Case Study: Nelipak achieves 95% reduction in planned downtime and 4-minute failover with Vision Solutions' MIMIX HA

Nelipak - Customer Case Study

Nelipak BV, a 400‑employee Dutch thermoforming company based in Venray and a leader in medical and industrial packaging, relied on proprietary R&D and unique production processes hosted on a high‑performance IBM server. As the business grew and customer quality demands rose, IT faced a critical risk: potential system failure or data loss that could halt energy‑intensive production and threaten the company’s competitive edge, with planned downtime previously totaling two days per month.

Nelipak implemented Vision Solutions’ MIMIX HA for i5/OS, deployed by Rainbow Solutions on two IBM System i Model 520 servers to replicate its ERP, financial and HR applications. The result: company IP and processes are protected, planned downtime dropped by 95% and the backup window was eliminated, automated switching takes four minutes, upgrades can be done in business hours, and daily management now requires under two minutes thanks to MIMIX’s self‑healing capabilities.
