SIOS software supports multiple operating system versions and flavors (both Linux and Windows).
Consistent user experience to protect mission-critical resources regardless of the operating system.
SIOS delivers high availability solutions for multiple environments including on-premises, virtualized (VMware) and cloud environments including public platforms from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud as well as privately hosted cloud environments. The same tools can be used across different environments.
Hybrid environments are also supported. It is possible to configure an on-premise node as the primary location with the secondary node being hosted in a private cloud and a third node located on a public cloud platform providing an additional DR (disaster recovery) option.
SIOS provides application-aware protection mechanisms including Application Recovery Kits (ARKs), available for the world’s leading providers of enterprise applications and databases.
Our comprehensive library of ARKs protect the broadest range of applications ‘off-the-shelf’.
Other ‘non-standard’ or legacy applications can be protected with the built-in ‘GenApp’ ARK or by developing a custom ARK either in-house or in collaboration with SIOS engineers.
Unlike open-source tools (which force the user to manually establish environmental parameters in advance and then type a complex set of command-line parameters), a series of wizard based installation and configuration screens enables intuitive selection of resources requiring protection and helps in selecting the type and extent of protection to be provisioned.
Wizards scan the system and environment to identify the resources to protect. In most cases the operator only needs to confirm default selections and enter unique environment-specific host IDs etc. to complete the installation.
This reduces the likelihood of misconfiguration of the HA solution and the inevitable unexpected downtime as the result of a system or application failure.
SIOS provides a comprehensive range of technical support options including 24×7 critical support, offering support options tailored to the available budget, systems complexity or criticality of the application requiring high availability.
