10. MIMIX GLOBAL Base Editioncompanion product Local • MIMIX Global Base Edition is a ‘companion product’ which can be added to MIMIX Professional or MIMIX Enterprise • Allows customer to extend traditional A to B topologies to multi-node* clustered topologies • Having two backup nodes gives you some operational advantages. Eg. Do un-interrupted tape backups locally while maintaining an hot offsite backup. • If you execute a planned switch you still maintain HA/DR which could be important if you have an SLA which states that you must never run without HA/DR. Remote Cluster Production applications are protected while maintaining two MIMIX backup systems in normal mode Cluster And while in recovery mode applications continue to have full HA/DR All MIMIX Global Editions support up to 128 nodes in a single cluster

11. MIMIX GLOBAL IASP & SAN Editionscompanion products Local • MIMIX Global IASP & SAN Editions are ‘companion products’ which can be added to MIMIX Enterprise or used in ‘stand alone mode’ • Allows customer to extend traditional A to B topologies to multi-node hybrid* HA/DR cluster topologies • A hybrid HA/DR cluster is one where both MIMIX and Hardware HA/DR backup nodes co-exist in the same cluster • Stand-Alone mode is for topologies where there is no MIMIX backup node • Having two backup nodes gives some operational advantages. Eg. Do un-interrupted tape backups locally while maintaining a hot offsite backup • If you execute a planned switch you still maintain full HA/DR (could be important if you have an SLA which states that you must never run without HA/DR) • SYSBAS replication is included Remote Cluster Production applications are protected while maintaining two MIMIX backup systems in normal mode Cluster And while inrecovery mode applications continue to have full HA/DR SAN Edition supports: Metro Mirror, Global Mirror & LUN Level Switching IASP Edition supports: Synchronous/Asynchronous Geo Mirror & LUN Level Switching

12. MIMIX Dynamic Apply • Cooperative Processing • Allows efficient cooperative processing of apply workload in mult-processor and multi-core environments resulting in faster apply rates Multiple apply Tasks (sessions) work in parallel • Self-Maintaining File Relationships • Intelligently handles relationships between physical and logical files by assigning them to the same or appropriate apply sessions each time you start replication Leverage multi-core multi-task processors • Self-Maintaining Data Integrity • Automatically maintains data integrity of replicated objects including operations such as creates, deletes, moves, and renames MIMIX 7.1 FCS Achieved over 290 MJTPH* in this environment A new industry record! Power 7 Chips can run 32 tasks (quadruple that of Power 6) 9117-MMB (770), Feature #4980, 350GB Memory, DS8800 storage mixed HDD and SSDs, V6R1M1, Multiple MIMIX Data Groups, MIMIX 7.1 FCS, IBM Montpellier Test Environment, Calls and Billing applications, Oct 2011

13. Data Groups & Application Groups • A data group* is a logical grouping of database files, data areas, objects, IFS objects, DLOs, • Defines a unit of work by which replication activity is controlled. • A data group may represent an application, a set of one or more libraries, or all of the critical data on a given system. • Application environments may define a data group as a specific set of files and objects • Application Groups* allow users to • group and control multiple data groups • as one entity. 8=Display status There is no limit on how many Data Groups or Application Groups can be defined in MIMIX* *This is true for Professional, Enterprise & Global licenses *Sometimes called ‘Data Resource Groups’ and ‘Application Resource Groups’

14. MIMIX AutoGuard Data Group name • MIMIX AutoGuard is a set of features which automatically detect and correct replication issues either in real time or during automatically scheduled audits • Audits - Audits are predetermined programs that are used to check for known conditions, preferably at regularly scheduled intervals • Automatic Recovery - if AutoGuard identifies an issue which is known to interfere with maintaining switch readiness, it will automatically start recovery actions to correct them. For example a record that failed to update a target file • Complience - MIMIX determines compliance by verifying whether successfully completed audits or regular switches occur within a time range defined in policies • Policies – Allow users to enable/disable/change AutoGuard actions at a Data Group level • Notifications – Alert operation when AutoGuard activities end in error Audits that will run automatically for this Data Group Automatic Recovery has been enabled for this Data Group MIMIX AutoGuard significantly simplifies the amount of time and effort required to maintain your MIMIX environment for availability and switch readiness. Sometimes called ‘Autonomics’

There may be changes right up to the General Availability (GA) Date.

18. Application Group Switching – Proc & Step ‘One Button’ Switching Predictable RTO & RPO • Procedures & Steps (Proc & Step Feature) allows users to define procedures which are user initiated and run automatically against an application group • Most common uses of Proc & Step are: Planned Switch Procedure • Unplanned Switch Procedure • Each application group can have its own user defined switch procedures • Each procedures is made up of multiple user defined steps, each step identifies a program to execute. • Procedure starts one job for the application group and an additional job for each of its data groups. Jobs run in parallel. • Procedure history is stored so you can see who run which procedure, when and a detailed log of each step that was executed. User Defined Procedure Name User Defined Application Group Name How long the step took to run Current status of step User defined step within the procedure Application Groups plus Proc & Step are recommended Best Practices in MIMIX 7

19. Production System 1 Backup System Backup System Production System 2 Production System Backup System Library Name Mapping Allows library renaming & duplicating Example 1: Problem: Customer wants to consolidate two environments into one backup environment but library names are the same on both production systems Solution: Library Name Mapping enables both environments to co-exist on a single backup system or single backup LPAR Example 2: Problem: Customer has a multi-environment business application which uses a common library and wants to create separate and complete backup environments Solution: Library Name Mapping enables the common library to be selected in more than one Data Group and renamed on the backup so that there are multiple complete mirrored backup environments.

20. Bi-directional (Active-Active) Flow Advanced workload balancing MIMIX AVAILABILITY 7 allows users in two locations to update local data and MIMIX will keep this data synchronized bi-directionaly with a remote system. This is configured at data group level using unique key replication. MIMIX HA 6.0 also allows automatic collision resolution which is configurable Users at location A Update Customer Info locally Users at location B Update Customer Info locally Bi-directional flow keeps data synchronized Consideration: When implementing bi-directional replication there are special considerations which are environment specific. Bi-directional replication should therefore only be implemented with assistance from Vision or Vision partners technically certified in MIMIX. Advantages Spread application workload across more than one system Accelerate role swap time (some environments)
