SIOS Protection Suite (SPS) for Linux integrates high availability clustering with innovative data replication functionality in a single, enterprise-class solution.

SPS for Linux Integrated Components

SIOS LifeKeeper provides a complete fault-resilient software solution to provide high availability for your servers’ file systems, applications,and processes. LifeKeeper does not require any customized, fault-tolerant hardware. LifeKeeper simply requires two or more systems to be grouped in a network, and site-specific configuration data is then created to provide automatic fault detection and recovery.

In the case of a failure, LifeKeeper migrates protected resources from the failed server to a designated back-up server. Users experience a brief interruption during the actual switchover; however, LifeKeeper restores operations on the back-up server without operator intervention.

SIOS DataKeeper provides an integrated data mirroring capability for LifeKeeper environments. This feature enables LifeKeeper resources to operate in shared and non-shared storage environments.
