High Availability Validation (HA Health) Check Services

A SIOS high availability validation check (HA health check) ensures SIOS HA best practices are implemented to protect critical applications from downtime and disasters. SIOS experts conduct an in-depth analysis and validation of the complete SIOS HA environment and provide detailed documentation, high availability consulting and recommendations for optimization. 

High Availability Validation Check for SIOS LifeKeeper (Windows or Linux)

SIOS experts will conduct a detailed review and validation of the entire LifeKeeper (Windows or Linux) environment in a two-node cluster and quorum (or equivalent with SAP HANA). They will work through an HA checklist of more than 70 points by reviewing system logs, system settings, run books and other documentation to ensure the LifeKeeper environment, including application recovery kits are configured and operating in an environment that is optimized for application-specific HA. They will validate their findings in a detailed report and, if necessary, provide recommendations for correcting and/or improving operation.
