High availability

Can you really afford a systems failure of 87 hours a year? Most SLAs, nowadays, allow for a considerably more limited downtime. If you want to guarantee an availability of more than 99%, you need a highly available solution.

Depending on which platform you use, we can offer you various solutions which we have already successfully implemented for many customers.

• Veritas Cluster Server - the professional, cross platform solution of market leader
• Sun Cluster - is now available as an open source application and is the best choice for the Solaris platform. Upon request, with professional support on the part of the manufacturer.
• Heartbeat - the low-price Linux-based alternative, with plenty of support from the Internet community

Due to close cooperation with the manufacturers, our staff has many years of experience in implementing high availability solutions in a company critical environment. We have an end-to-end view of your requirements. Besides the use of HA software, we also advise you on the following important questions:

• Development of a redundant infrastructure: including storage, network, power supply
• Keeping the losses to a minimum by providing corresponding failure recovery plans, including disaster recovery and business continuity
• Training of staff: keeping the failure factor "operating errors" to a minimum
• Integrative implementation in heterogenic systems spread all over the world
• Conception and implementation of "stretched clusters" or "campus clusters" as they are called
• Conception and implementation of parallel clusters like Oracle RAC
