SGI FailSafe

SGI’s FailSafe is an next-generation high availability solution for your mission-critical services. It enables applications and services to be highly available for a fraction of the cost of many specialized fault-tolerant systems. Utilizing IRIS FailSafe’s robust and flexible cluster HA and DR solution provides:

• configuration flexibility
• a Java-based cluster manager
• service availability during planned maintenance
• popular application agents for rapid deployment
• open API to integrate almost any app under your HA umbrella, making it more resilient across failures
• the power of distributed computing and improved throughput by utilizing multiple systems for a given workload

FailSafe HA clusters provide an cost-effective and flexible solution to meet your availability demands around-the-clock. A cluster consists of up to 8 nodes (which can be any combination of SGI Origin servers) which can be connected via any standard networking protocol, that works together to detect failures quickly and take the necessary steps to minimize the impact of failure, whether it is:

• disk failure
• storage path failure
• systems failure
• network failure
• application failure

These clusters provide a strong foundation for hosting highly available services for your mission-critical environments. Check out SGI’s CXFS shared filesystems software for SAN environment to compliment your storage solution.
