September 24, 2024
New Features Empower IT Administrators to Streamline Operations, Enhance Data Security, and Ensure Uninterrupted Application Availability through Sitewide and Regional Disasters
SIOS Technology Corp., a leading provider of application high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, announced the immediate release of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux version 9.9.0. This latest version introduces advanced DR features, including synchronous and asynchronous data mirroring, intelligent failover mechanisms, enhanced security management, expanded language support, and additional Linux operating system compatibility.
As enterprise applications and databases become increasingly critical to business operations, the need for robust HA/DR solutions has never been more vital. IT administrators are tasked with the challenging responsibility of ensuring continuous uptime and safeguarding against data loss, all while managing complex infrastructures and evolving security threats.
“Our latest release offers the flexibility to tailor HA replication strategies to meet specific needs while automating failover and ensuring reliable restoration processes,” said Masahiro Arai, COO of SIOS Technology. “By eliminating complex manual steps, we ensure faster recovery times and maintain data consistency across all environments, saving both time and reducing the potential for human error.”
Key Features of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux 9.9.0, include:
Advanced Disaster Recovery Protection:
- Fully automated failover to DR nodes across different AWS regions or availability zones via WAN.
- Flexibility to create both synchronous and asynchronous replication for geographically separated DR sites.
- Automatic failover with no need for time-consuming data resynchronization.
- Subscription add-on available to optimize DR performance and data integrity based on application-specific needs. Supported OS for this add-on are: RHEL 8.9/8.10, RHEL 9.3/9.4, SLES 15SP4/15SP5.
Intelligent Failover for Added Reliability:
- In a three-node cluster, SIOS automatically checks the status of secondary and tertiary nodes, ensuring a seamless failover to the tertiary node, if necessary.
- Fast and efficient failover processes that guarantee system integrity.
- Added redundancy protection with multiple paths and resources to eliminate single points of failure.
Updated Security Management:
