Case Study: PFG Customized Distribution achieves 24/7 business continuity and disaster recovery with Vision Solutions' MIMIX HA and Double-Take

PFG - Customer Case Study

PFG Customized Distribution, a Lebanon, Tennessee–based food distributor with 1,200 employees serving national restaurant chains, operates 24/7 and must deliver orders within hours. Headquartered in a tornado-prone area and running critical IBM System i and Windows/Citrix environments, PFG needed to minimize planned and unplanned downtime and extend its existing MIMIX HA protection to its Windows-based applications.

PFG implemented Vision Solutions’ Double-Take for Windows to replicate four Citrix MetaFrame servers to four backup servers five miles away, a deployment completed in days with hands-on support. Paired with MIMIX HA for i5/OS, the continuous-replication and rapid failover solution delivers 24/7 business continuity, nonstop user access during maintenance, simplified disaster recovery for both platforms, and reduced operational risk and upkeep.
