Case Study: Tradeteam achieves zero downtime and continuous service with Vision Solutions MIMIX HA

Tradeteam - Customer Case Study

Tradeteam, a UK subsidiary of Exel that operates a 600-vehicle fleet and supports 700 users across 25,000 delivery points, provides nationwide supply-chain logistics for beverage distribution. Facing the risk that even brief downtime on its IBM System i and critical ERP, EDI and data-warehouse applications could disrupt customers, Tradeteam engaged an independent consultant and sought a High Availability solution to ensure uninterrupted service.

Using REAL Solutions to implement Vision Solutions’ MIMIX HA for i5/OS, Tradeteam maintains a real-time duplicate of its production system with automatic and manual failover and regularly alternates live and standby roles to perform upgrades and maintenance. The deployment eliminated downtime for upgrades, increased confidence and scalability, allowed seamless live-machine switching without user impact, and reinforced Tradeteam’s commitment to continuous service.
