Description

SIOS LifeKeeper for Windows is an all-encompassing solution designed for high availability and disaster recovery, seamlessly combining features like failover clustering, continuous monitoring of applications, data replication, and adaptable recovery policies to achieve an impressive 99.99% uptime for various Microsoft Windows Server environments, including physical, virtual, cloud, hybrid-cloud, and multicloud setups. System administrators have the flexibility to construct SAN-based or SANless clusters utilizing multiple storage options, such as direct-attached SCSI, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, or local disks, while also selecting between local or remote standby servers that cater to both high availability and disaster recovery requirements. With its real-time block-level replication capabilities provided through the integrated DataKeeper, LifeKeeper offers WAN-optimized performance, which features nine distinct levels of compression, bandwidth throttling, and built-in WAN acceleration, guaranteeing effective data replication across different cloud regions or over WAN networks without relying on additional hardware accelerators. This robust solution not only enhances operational resilience but also simplifies the management of complex IT infrastructures. Ultimately, SIOS LifeKeeper stands out as a vital tool for organizations aiming to maintain seamless service continuity and safeguard their valuable data assets.

Description

Failover Clustering in Windows Server (and Azure Local) allows a collection of independent servers to collaborate, enhancing both availability and scalability for clustered roles, which were previously referred to as clustered applications and services. These interconnected nodes utilize a combination of hardware and software solutions, ensuring that if one node encounters a failure, another node seamlessly takes over its responsibilities through an automated failover mechanism. Continuous monitoring of clustered roles ensures that if they cease to function properly, they can be restarted or migrated to uphold uninterrupted service. Additionally, this feature includes support for Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs), which create a cohesive, distributed namespace and enable reliable shared storage access across all nodes, thereby minimizing potential service interruptions. Common applications of Failover Clustering encompass high‑availability file shares, SQL Server instances, and Hyper‑V virtual machines. This functionality is available on Windows Server versions 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, as well as within Azure Local environments, making it a versatile choice for organizations looking to enhance their system resilience. By leveraging Failover Clustering, organizations can ensure their critical applications remain available even in the event of hardware failures.
