High Availability

High Availability lets you manage a potential disaster whilst retaining continual access to your applications. Two service options - Data Replication and Clustering - are designed to ensure your business survives most common IT problems, from key server failure to entire site loss.

Data Replication

This ensures you can access your data without loss. Data is mirrored between multiple locations, via either a dedicated fibre link or an IP connection. Web usage, vital to e-business, is protected. You can enjoy higher availability within open-systems environments, operating systems, applications and databases.

Clustering

To enable optimum use of your databases and transactional, messaging, file- and web-serving functions, main servers are grouped together. If one fails, another automatically takes over. This 'failover', within a single site or across your geographic spread, means your applications are always available.

Faster disaster recovery
Greater utilisation of resources
