About DataMirror iCluster and High Availability Suite
DataMirror iCluster software enables companies to realize the
benefits of AS/400 clustering. iCluster includes an intuitive
graphical user interface to define nodes in a cluster, determine
what data and other critical objects are mirrored to specific
nodes and monitor the entire cluster from a single station. It
also handles the data and object mirroring requirements of
clustered high availability environments. iCluster enables
companies to approach 99.999% business continuity by providing
data resiliency and applications resiliency in conjunction with
the IBM ClusterProven(TM) applications standard.
DataMirror High Availability Suite is a single integrated product
for continuous business operations in AS/400 environments. It
captures AS/400 objects and database transactions from primary
systems and mirrors them in real-time to one or more recovery
AS/400s. High Availability Suite can detect primary system failure
and invoke operational switching to enable continuous
availability. It features an advanced match-merge architecture
that enables real-time auto-registration. Data and object
transaction streams are matched and merged in real-time before
being applied to the recovery system database. Match-merge, along
with sync check, commitment control and other integrity checks,
are designed to provide the highest levels of data integrity.
Available Via the Internet
DataMirror continues to lead the way in business-to-business
e-commerce for business data integration and resiliency software.

Suite are available for download via the Internet by visiting
