Case Study: The All England Lawn Tennis Club achieves near-zero downtime and 5-minute recovery for Wimbledon ticketing with Vision Solutions' MIMIX HA

The All England Lawn Tennis Club - Customer Case Study

The All England Lawn Tennis Club, host of Wimbledon, relies on IBM System i servers and a custom ticketing system to manage ticket sales and event operations for over 450,000 attendees. Because any outage during the Championships would severely impact customer service and revenue, the Club needed near-zero downtime for its production systems during the tournament and the lead-up period.

Each year the Club installs MIMIX HA for i5/OS (installed and supported by REAL Solutions) to maintain a real-time replica of its production database on a backup System i. MIMIX automatically detects failures and initiates rapid failover (the Club reports recovery within five minutes), allows up-to-the-minute reporting on the backup without affecting production, and requires a short, single-person annual installation—delivering minimal downtime risk and improved operational confidence.
