BDK Partners with Maxava to Strengthen IBM i Solutions Capabilities

DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania and EASTON, Maryland - Nov 29, 2024 - Maxava, the global provider of innovative monitoring, high availability, and disaster recovery solutions for IBM i, have announced that it is partnering with IBM Business Partner BDK Inc. (BDK) to sell and service its high availability (HA) solutions for IBM i.

BDK has been providing solutions and support for IBM i customers since Edwina and Bruce Kimball founded the company back in 1999. The company specializes in providing ERP, EDI, VoIP, analytics solutions, and cloud hosting solutions. For cloud hosting, BDK offers services in various geographical locations throughout the US, including multiple locations equipped with IBM Power systems and three locations with the latest Power 10 systems.

Responsiveness and how well you treat your customers and business partners are important to BDK, which is a family-owned company that employs several members of the Kimball family. Maxava checked those boxes for BDK, and more.

"If I need something from them, I know I'm going to get a call in a couple of hours," BDK Co-owner Edwina Kimball said. "They have great support. They've just been a great partner."

High availability software has become a business priority in many industries, thanks to the threat of natural disasters and cyberattacks. HA used to be out of reach for some customers because it was cost prohibitive; but over the years, renting an LPAR from a cloud hosting provider like BDK has become cost efficient and HA licenses have become more accessible. For IBM i customers, high availability software from Maxava has emerged as the market leader.

Since becoming partners, BDK and Maxava have successfully completed several installations of Maxava HA, the company's logical replication solution for IBM i. While some companies can absorb a little bit of downtime, they are quickly becoming a minority in today's 24/7 business environment.

"If you're down, what happens to your business?" BDK President Bruce Kimball asks. "Thinking from the customer's perspective, 'If I can't ship, I'm not making money,' becomes a legitimate issue when factoring in downtime."

Maxava is a global leader in high availability and disaster recovery for IBM i. While Maxava hosts some IBM i high availability environments itself, it relies on a global network of partners to provide excellent customer service for Maxava HA users.

John Dominic, Global VP of Maxava, commented, "At Maxava, we are committed to delivering world-class high availability and disaster recovery solutions that ensure business continuity for our customers. Our partnership with BDK presents an exciting opportunity to extend these critical services to an even wider audience. By combining our cutting-edge HA/DR technology with BDK's industry expertise, we are confident that this collaboration will drive success, safeguard essential data, and provide superior resilience for businesses globally."
