High Availability Services
Cost-effective disaster management � with uninterrupted data access
24-hour system availability is crucial to many businesses. Yet a severe IT problem � from a single server failure to a total site shutdown � could strike at any time. And such an event could profoundly affect your productivity and profitability in the longer term.
To neutralise such issues, ISC � one of the UK�s foremost IT solutions provider � has developed High Availability services. We can build a solution which allows you to manage potential disasters whilst retaining continuous access to your most important business applications.
High Availability comprises two solutions � Data Replication and Clustering � which will help ensure a swift return to business normality.
Data Replication
To ensure continuous access without loss � or painless recovery should loss occur � data is mirrored over multiple locations, via either a dedicated fibre link or an IP connection. Availability is enhanced within open-systems environments, operating systems, applications and databases, whilst your web usage is fully protected.
Clustering
For operational continuity and unhindered productivity, your servers can be grouped together. If one fails, another automatically kicks in, creating a seamless failover of databases, file & web-servers, transactional and messaging systems. Whether your servers reside on a single site or are spread geographically, your vital applications remain constantly available.
