Vision Solutions' ORION for AIX is Named 'High Availabililty Product of the Year' by Tech Target's Search 400.Com

Vision Solutions, a leading high availability solution provider to the Global 5000, today announced that its ORION(tm) for AIX has received top honors in TechTarget's Search 400.com Product of the Year Awards in the High Availability category.

TechTarget award winners are chosen by a panel that includes Search400 editorial staff, users, industry experts and analysts. The products are judged by criteria that includes innovation, performance, ease of use, ease of integration into existing environments, manageability and value.

"We are very pleased that ORION for AIX has been recognized as iSeries' High Availability product of the year," said Henry Martinez, Chief Technology Officer of Vision Solutions. "ORION for AIX is a revolutionary product for the AIX environment delivering high availability with ease of use, simple administration and support for AIX on pSeries and iSeries platforms. All of this translates to outstanding customer value."

Because ORION for AIX is non-intrusive to the AIX kernel, installation, configuration, management and trouble-shooting are exceptionally easy and the concern of introducing additional security issues is decreased. No AIX operating system patches are required to support the solution, making for less complexity with full-functionality. Furthermore, ORION for AIX is the only solution on the market to support AIX on an iSeries/i5/OS hosted partition. This supports server consolidation, creating the opportunity to move critical UNIX business applications onto a single iSeries platform.

"ORION for AIX is a great innovation to replicate AIX-hosted partitions on the iSeries," said one award judge. "This new product keeps pace with IBM's clustering strategy for the iSeries. The product's functionality for AIX partitions make for ease of use and integration that truly stood out to the judging panel."
