system redundancy and availability needs

System and application availability

• Application high availability: Users
can also keep applications available and
accessible through real-time replication
on physical servers, VMware, Hyper-V,
Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure
• Application-aware replication: Teams
can manage the replication of data for
Exchange, SQL, IIS, SharePoint, Oracle,
Hyper-V and custom applications in
one program
• Data rewind: Arcserve RHA also offers
the ability to rollback applications to a
point in time before a system crash, data
corruption, or ransomware event
“There are vendors in the business continuity
space that claim to offer high availability, but
the technology just isn’t there. What they’re
doing is providing snapshot-based backups,
or replication with short RPOs. And many only
support virtual machines so you’re stuck if
you have critical physical on-premises systems
that need to remain operational. Arcserve
RHA, on the other hand, delivers availability
for on-premises, remote, and cloud systems
and applications; which are the foundation of
most IT infrastructures.”
Driaan Odendaal, Lead: Arcserve Southern
Africa, Technical, notes this is an important
announcement for the SA market.
“Local businesses face many challenges in
terms of downtime so the announcement
of this latest version of Arcserve RHA is good
news for all organisations in our market
with a vision to reduce both the risk and
the inevitable negative impact of business
continuity disruption,” he said. n
