New Features Empower IT Administrators to Streamline Operations,
Enhance Data Security, and Ensure Uninterrupted Application Availability through Sitewide and Regional Disasters
SAN MATEO, CA – September 24, 2024 – SIOS Technology Corp., a leading provider of application high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, today 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.

Intelligent Failover for Added Reliability:
