Key features & benefits
- A simple and proven path to superior availability: SPS takes the complexity out of high availability with fast, Wizard-based installation and an intuitive GUI for centralized cluster configuration and management on Windows 2003 through Windows 2008 R2 (Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter). Existing non-clustered applications can easily be clustered without the need to reinstall the OS or application.
- Fast time to benefit for a rapid return on investment: You can rapidly integrate SPS into your existing IT infrastructure, whether you’re running Windows servers on physical machines, virtual machines, in the cloud, or any combination of the three. Because SPS is easy to manage and maintain and requires no expensive hardware, you can cost-effectively extend high availability and data protection to all of your enterprise applications, from e-mail to ERP.
- Innovative “application awareness” to ensure continuous uptime: SPS protects Microsoft File Server, IIS, Hyper-V virtual machines, and multi-site clusters right out of the box. SPS also integrates with our Application Recovery Kits (ARKs) to provide granular visibility into Exchange Server, SQL Server, and Oracle, so you can ensure your systems are properly responding – not just running. The SPS SDK and Generic ARK template enable rapid extension of SIOS application awareness to custom applications.
- Flexible data replication, failover, and disaster recovery: SPS supports real-time data replication, continuous monitoring, automated failover, and Wizard-based disaster recovery within LANs, across WANs, and throughout cloud/virtualized environments. SPS also ensures data integrity between production and recovery environments to safeguard current information and individual transactions in the event of disaster. Our unique “any point in time rewind” capability enables you to rewind to any moment before data loss occurred, so you can restore data and resume normal business operations in minutes. Support for efficient block-level replication and flexible Sync or Async replication allows customers to strike the optimal balance between protection and cost.
