GeoCluster - Eliminate the Single Point of Failure for Improved Cluster Data Protection and Disaster Recovery

If you are working in a clustered environment, GeoCluster extends the capabilities of Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) to create a stretch cluster. While MSCS and clustering in general provide a high level of application availability, MSCS clusters maintain only a single copy of the data and only provide failover within a single site. Built on top of MSCS, GeoCluster offers added data protection, failover and disaster recovery. GeoCluster guarantees continual access to data and applications across sites and eliminates the single point of failure for improved MSCP protection.

GeoCluster benefits:

Improved Cluster Data Protection: Reduces exposure to data loss and eliminates the single point of failure of shared disk storage with byte-level replication ensuring maximum application performance and minimum bandwidth requirements
Enhanced Cluster Disaster Recovery: Ensures that business-critical data and applications can be recovered quickly through real-time, offsite data protection and failover.
High Availability: Eliminates or greatly reduces downtime with automatic failover technologies.
Greater Flexibility: Supports clusters using existing servers and storage because only replicated drive letters and capacity need to match between cluster nodes.
Affordable and Easy-to-Use: GeoCluster provides the best possible protection at the lowest cost and is easy to use with MSCS clusters.

Windows Server Multi-Site Clustering with Double-Take

Improvements to Failover Clustering do not yet provide a way to replicate the shared data used by a cluster which is truly the "last mile" in terms of building multi-site cluster architectures. GeoCluster provides a way to efficiently replicate these data changes and allow cluster nodes to quickly restore application services after a failure.

More Functionality, Less Infrastructure: Managed IT with netBoot/i™

Building and maintaining computer systems is no easy task and information technology managers are constantly looking for better tools to reduce the total cost of managing their data centers and infrastructure. Advances in computer, networking and storage technology allow us to separate the various parts of our infrastructure to specialized platforms. For example, storage area networks have allowed us to separate the data storage from our servers in much the same way that file servers are used to separate data from desktops and provide more robust management functionality like centralized backup and recoverability.

Thinking Beyond Tape: Better Backups with Replication

There was a time when tape-based backup was widely believed to be the only feasible backup solution for remote offices. But tape backup alone is no longer the only realistic solution and centralized backup solutions are coming to the forefront.
