SIOS Technology Corp., a leading provider of application
high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, today announced
the immediate release of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux version 9.9.0. This latest
version introduces advanced DR features, including synchronous and asynchronous
data mirroring, intelligent failover mechanisms, enhanced security management,
expanded language support, and additional Linux operating system compatibility.
As enterprise
applications and databases become increasingly critical to business operations,
the need for robust HA/DR solutions has never been more vital. IT
administrators are tasked with the challenging responsibility of ensuring
continuous uptime and safeguarding against data loss, all while managing
complex infrastructures and evolving security threats.
"Our
latest release offers the flexibility to tailor HA replication strategies to
meet specific needs while automating failover and ensuring reliable restoration
processes," said Masahiro Arai, COO of SIOS Technology. "By
eliminating complex manual steps, we ensure faster recovery times and maintain
data consistency across all environments, saving both time and reducing the
potential for human error."
Key Features
of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux 9.9.0, include:
Advanced
Disaster Recovery Protection:
- Fully
automated failover to DR nodes across different AWS regions or
availability zones via WAN.
- Flexibility
to create both synchronous and asynchronous replication for geographically
separated DR sites.
- Automatic
failover with no need for time-consuming data resynchronization.
- Subscription
add-on available to optimize DR performance and data integrity based on
application-specific needs. Supported OS for this add-on are: RHEL
8.9/8.10, RHEL 9.3/9.4, SLES 15SP4/15SP5.

redundancy protection with multiple paths and resources to eliminate
single points of failure.
