SIOS Products

Simplified high availability and data protection for Linux and Windows

In the marketplace, there are products designed to improve application uptime, products designed to replicate data, and products designed to monitor storage devices, networks, and other IT infrastructure. SIOS products offer a single, integrated solution designed to do it all – providing superior availability and protection while reducing operating costs and boosting ROI.

Fast and easy implementation

SIOS products provide installation wizards and a simple, consolidated GUI for centralized management and monitoring, allowing implementation of high availability and data protection solutions in less than half the time required by traditional software. This means you can focus on your core business rather than on writing scripts and making customizations and other accommodations to make your clusters work. Simple installation is just one way SIOS can help you gain superior availability at a minimal cost.

Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)

SIOS lowers your TCO for high availability and data protection by 50%. From the ease of initial implementation, to the consolidated GUI for daily operations and monitoring, to the consistent architecture that allows rolling upgrades, all aspects of SIOS products are designed for simplicity, efficiency, and superior protection. Our innovative software also leverages unique approaches to I/O Fencing by using SCSI reservations to ensure data integrity and reduce the need for additional capital expenditures for things like STONITH devices.

Intelligent “application awareness”

SIOS provides pre-packaged and integrated Application Recovery Kits (ARKs) that deliver granular visibility into SAP, Oracle, and other popular enterprise applications, databases, storage, networking, and infrastructure components. An open SDK and Generic ARK template allow rapid extension of SIOS protection to custom and other commercial applications.

ARKs provide unique application awareness that allows SIOS products to monitor key application sub-systems and take intelligent recovery actions rather than simply failing over. This saves time and money and improves the overall availability of the protected systems.

Real-world track record

SIOS solutions are built on a proven architecture that has been protecting tens of thousands of enterprise applications for more than a decade – all over the world and across every industry.

Unlike other high availability architectures that change with virtually every release, SIOS removes risk from the equation and allows rolling upgrades and migrations – another way you can gain superior availability while reducing operating costs.
