Vision Solutions has announced it is extending its business continuity solutions and services through collaborations with IBM. As a result, many enterprise customers are benefiting from enhanced cluster management, replication, and monitoring capabilities that protect their businesses.
"IBM and Vision Solutions are working collaboratively to combine the strengths of IBM's cluster services with Vision Solutions' offerings," says Vision's Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Alan Arnold. "Our integrated offerings represent the future for System i customers."
Integrating IBM's cluster services with Vision Solutions' products results in new levels of flexibility and fault tolerance to meet the highest availability demands, while providing outstanding levels of monitoring and management. "This not only makes the most complex implementations easy to monitor, it also ensures systems are protected with built-in autonomics," adds Arnold.
"IBM is delighted to have the investment and support Vision Solutions brings to our business and customers. Simply put: We value our collaborative, longstanding relationship with this outstanding organization," says Jim Herring, director, high end power systems, IBM Systems and Technology Group. "Customers and partners expect this level of collaboration and we are pleased to provide it."
Vision is IBM's only Premier Business Partner in high availability. The company's solutions that utilize IBM's cluster services technology are being deployed daily to enterprise customers. These solutions are capable of delivering the level of usability, flexibility, and fault tolerance required by many enterprise class customers.
Prescription Solutions, a leader in the pharmacy benefit management industry, promotes the appropriate use of prescription medications to improve clinical quality and total patient care, thereby helping its clients and members improve outcomes while managing overall healthcare costs.

The Vision-IBM solution is easy to manage and enables substantially faster switch times.
"MIMIX has greatly enhanced and simplified the switch process for our three-node installation," say customers Ron Yohe and Reid Parker, both senior systems analysts for Prescription Solutions.
