SIOS Technology Corp. today
announced that it is a Google Cloud Partner, enabling the accelerated
delivery of high-availability SQL Server clusters and other
business-critical applications in the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Google has also recognized the SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition as a
high availability clustering solution for GCP. SIOS DataKeeper enables
Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) environments to protect
applications in GCP. SIOS lets organizations run their important
applications in GCP without sacrificing the high availability and
disaster protection they have come to expect from failover clustering.
Organizations
are often prevented from moving their business critical applications,
such as SQL Server, to public cloud environments where shared storage - a
prerequisite for failover clustering - is not available. By adding SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition to
a WSFC environment, companies can create a high availability SANless
cluster, eliminating the need for shared (SAN) storage and enabling
customers to capitalize on the benefits of GCP. Companies can use SIOS
DataKeeper with SQL Server Standard Edition to create a SQL high
availability cluster without the cost of Enterprise Edition licensing.
"SIOS
DataKeeper is filling a need for high-availability failover clustering
in the cloud where customers are looking to use the same protection
technologies they employ in their on-premises environments," said Jerry
Melnick, president and CEO of SIOS. "Our partnership with GCP further
reflects SIOS DataKeeper's position as the go-to solution for companies
looking to take advantage of the efficiencies afforded by cloud
computing while maintaining configuration flexibility."
SIOS
DataKeeper synchronizes local storage in each cluster node in real time
using highly efficient block level replication to create a SANless
cluster that appears to WSFC as shared storage. SIOS DataKeeper provides
the flexibility to configure clusters across physical, virtual and
cloud environments, freeing IT to drive additional value to the
business.
