FlashServer HA Redundant Failover Servers addresses planned and unplanned downtime for critical applications. FlashServer HA delivers continuous uptime through its fully redundant modular hardware featuring Intel Xeon processors with up to six cores and up to 96 GB memory each. These servers provide continuous availability through hardware redundancy in all components: CPU, memory, motherboards, I/O, hard disk drives, power supplies and cooling fans.
Two servers in one unit run applications simultaneously so if one fails, the other takes over immediately with no lost data and no delays common to cluster solutions. Only one set of software licenses is needed. No downtime is needed for routine operating system and application updates as one server at a time can be taken off-line and updated.
Failover with the FlashServer HA is automatic and transparent to the OS, virtualization software, applications, and users. The environment can survive a drive, motherboard, CPU, RAM, bus, power supply and fan failure. The result is a realizable 99.999 percent uptime without clustering. For the utmost in reliability and to protect against both hardware and software failures, FlashServer HA servers work exceeding well in cluster environments, delivering a double layer of protection from fault tolerant servers and cluster failover, while clustering provides load balancing and other benefits.
To run in redundant mode, the HA Server only requires one copy of the operating system and application software license, no professional services to setup or configure the server.
FlashServer HA installs like any other standard Intel server, saving on professional services and reducing complexity and need for specialized staff to support complex cluster environments. FlashServer HA implements redundancy at the hardware level, reducing failures to automatic notifications and indicator light status. This approach reduces the complexity associated with other forms of high availability such as clustering systems. It also simplifies system management and recovery operations, since administration and configurations are performed as a single system view.
It also eliminates minutes of downtime for a cluster failover and avoiding a data loss provide substantial recapture of otherwise lost revenue often measured in thousands of dollars per minute.
"Everyone has at least one application where downtime is just unthinkable," according to Mr. Joel Leider, the company's chief executive officer. "FlashServer HA is the solution -- just replace he standard Intel server with FlashServer HA and get the needed protection," he added.
