Orta Anadolu is a leading denim manufacturer with a fully integrated production process, from spinning to finishing. Their ERP system runs on IBM i, supporting mission-critical operations across the business. For years, the company relied on a legacy replication solution for high availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR), however, they wanted to reduce costs, improve replication performance, and streamline monitoring. After reviewing alternatives, Orta Anadolu chose to migrate to Maxava HA.

The Migration

The decision to switch was driven by several factors: improved performance and faster replication speeds, advanced monitoring and alerting capabilities, strong vendor support with comprehensive training, and a more cost-effective licensing model that delivers better long-term value.

The migration was completed with minimal disruption. Maxava’s team collaborated closely with Orta Anadolu’s IT department, performing thorough testing and simulated role swaps to ensure a seamless cutover. Orta Anadolu migrated to Maxava HA, leveraging Maxava’s migration tool to simplify and accelerate the transition.

The Results

Since adopting Maxava HA, Orta Anadolu has reduced its downtime risk and strengthened overall disaster recovery readiness. The IT team now benefits from enhanced visibility into replication status and system health, providing greater confidence in data protection during both planned maintenance and unexpected outages. Performance has also improved thanks to Maxava HA’s non-reliance on the system audit journal (QAUDJRN), eliminating a common source of CPU overhead.

The company has also realized unexpected benefits. Audit and compliance reporting has become easier through Maxava’s built-in monitoring features, while reduced disk space usage, again due to the non-reliance on QAUDJRN, has freed up valuable system resources.

Orta Anadolu particularly values Maxava’s responsive and proactive support. Any issues are resolved quickly, and regular follow-ups ensures continued satisfaction.
