Maxava, a global provider of innovative high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and monitoring solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Retail Process Engineering (RPE). The partnership will enable RPE to sell and service Maxava’s solutions for the IBM i platform.
As a Maxava partner, RPE, a leading retail consulting, data center and managed services company, will sell and run high availability and disaster recovery software for IBM i. RPE operates IBM Power servers on behalf of IBM i customers in two data centers, in Tampa, Florida, and Norcross, Georgia. Maxava’s software has been implemented at these sites to support customer operations, with plans for further expansion in the coming months.
“Whether it’s cyberattacks, ransomware, or a natural disaster, companies and their IT systems are more at risk today than they were a decade ago,” said Rob Henneke, President, RPE. “Without a strong data recovery strategy, data loss can lead to irreversible consequences. Maxava’s solutions ensure that mission-critical data remains available and recoverable.”
HA software ensures IT infrastructure remains operational by eliminating potential points of failure. In the event of a disruption or attack, DR focuses on quickly restoring applications and data center operations to minimize downtime.
“Maxava products provide practical protection against the lost revenue, legal risk and brand damage triggered by unplanned downtime and business interruptions,” said John Dominic, Global Vice President, Maxava. “This partnership with RPE allows us to expand our reach in delivering HA and DR solutions through a trusted company with over 25 years of experience on the IBM i platform.”
Maxava’s solutions have provided business resiliency to some of the world’s most demanding IBM i customers, establishing the company as a market leader.
