• All Editions include uncompromised, comprehensive
HA/DR protection and ‘must-have’ features
• Licensing scaled sensibly to your business
• No license changes or restrictions on location of
source and target systems
• Implement on-premises HA today, move target to a
Managed Service provider later for true,
professionally supported DR
• Move from HA/DR between your physical offices to
mixed physical and cloud environments
• IBM i hardware and iOS version agnostic: Protect
and leverage all your IBM i systems, including older
systems running less critical workloads

10. Journal-driven Configuration

11. Journal-driven Configuration
Automated protection keeps pace with your business
• New Data Groups automatically configured and replication started whenever
new journals are created
• Accelerates and simplifies configuration management – especially when
complex journaling scenarios exist
• Faster, more responsive protection for ever-changing and morphing cloud-
based environments
• No delays in protection for application-generated journals, libraries and schemas
• Data Groups will simply replicate journaled objects (*LIB, *FILE, *DTAARA,
*DTAQ, *IFS)
• More flexible selection rules simplify overall configuration definition and
management

TABLE 1
DG1
1. Table 1 is replicating via Journal 1 and Data Group 1
2. Journaling is ended on Table 1 by the administrator. Table1 is removed from replication.
3. Journaling is started on Table 1 to Journal 2 by the administrator . Replication automatically starts
via Data Group 2

4. Journaling is ended by the administrator, but they forget to restart! MIMIX can detect and resume

(QAUDJRN)
Example: Automated support for new journals
DG1
1. Data Group 1 is a monitoring QAUDJRN for new journals and schemas
2. A new SQL Schema is created, which includes a new journal
3. Data Group 2 is automatically created for the new QSQJRN journal and the schema is replicated

15. New 5250 Option
for Object Recovery Management

16. Green Screen Recovery Management Option
• Information about Recoveries is now
available using the 5250 (green-screen)
interface.
• The Work with Recoveries display
(WRKRCY command) has a new view
that allows users to see in-progress and
failed recoveries that were submitted to
the replication Manager for processing.
• Users now can use Assure Unified
Interface (GUI) or Work With Recoveries
(5250) to perform recovery operations.
16

17. Object Synchronization designed
for the Cloud

18. Synchronization is a
critical function
Many reasons for synchronization
• Initial sync for migrations and new backup systems
• Audit recoveries
• Virtual Switch Recoveries
• Target Journal Inspection Recoveries
• Apply job exception handling
18

19. More intelligent and efficient
object synchronization
• Assure MIMIX 10 intelligently evaluates the state of backup
objects to choose the most efficient synchronization method
• Enables more frequent, automated updates to backup objects
for improved overall data integrity and more aggressive RPOs
• Object synchronization at pace with fast-changing cloud
computing environments
• Lower impact on production system resources and performance
• Minimized administration and greater freedom to synchronize
on-demand: No longer need to “Keep watching the System” or
“Wait until more resources become available”
19

20. Today
• Asynchronous Recovery Manager, Recovery queue and Recovery jobs
• MIMIX Policy controls for Synchronization
• Number of active recovery jobs
• Number of retries to perform on a failed recovery
• New Work with Recovery (WRKRCY) panel allowing visibility and management of Recoveries
• Queued Recoveries
• Recoveries In Progress
• Recoveries Failed but being retried (based on policy)
Coming Soon
• Automated determination of the optimal object recovery technique
• Improved recovery ordering: Physical files before Logical files, etc
• Recovery method selection based on object size
• Improved multi-member file recovery : If most members are being recovered, then recover the entire file
• Greater control over system resources being consumed by recovery processes
