Arcserve enables system and application

Arcserve Replication and High Availability shifts the paradigm from application recovery times to application availability so businesses remain fully operational during unplanned disruptions.

Arcserve has introduced the newest version of Arcserve Replication and High Availability (RHA), which delivers high availability combined with heartbeat-powered automatic failover, and continuous data protection for Windows and Linux applications and systems on-premises, remote, and in the cloud. With this release, Arcserve RHA adds full system high availability for Linux, extends its full system support of Windows and Linux workloads to Azure, and provides a number of enhancements including performance and usability improvements and new platform certifications.
According to Arcserve’s independent global study of 759 IT decision-makers, 93% of respondents reported they could tolerate minimal, if any, data loss from critical business applications, with nearly 50% stating they have less than an hour to recover before it impacts revenue. To meet the demands of today’s always-on economy and digital transformation, companies are changing how they approach business continuity, moving beyond data backups and application recovery times to solutions that ensure continuous availability of critical business systems and applications.
“Across many industries, large enterprises struggle to manage disparate replication tools that only work with specific applications or systems. This process can be extremely manual and inefficient,” said Andrew Smith, research manager on IDC’s Enterprise Infrastructure Practice. “Arcserve has designed RHA to address this challenge, integrating with multiple applications, operating systems, and platforms. This has the potential to ease the burden and costs of managing siloed tools, and can also reduce the risk of downtime for companies that can’t afford any disruption to business continuity.”
Using a journal-based process as opposed to snapshot-based backups, Arcserve RHA continuously replicates data at the file system level of files/folders and applications, and full physical/virtual systems with heartbeat-powered automatic failover to ensure they remain operational. Designed to work in dissimilar hardware and environments, it eliminates the need for a collection of expensive replication tools focused on specific applications and systems.
“We are using Stratus Technologies’ everRun Extend, powered by Arcserve RHA, in multiple locations to protect the Access Control Systems (ACS) for a large financial company, which we’ve found to be perfect for maintaining functional warm redundant servers,” said Patrick Callahan, VP of Sawyers Control Systems, Inc. “This solution has made maintenance work and the entire business continuity process very easy. It’s unlike any other high availability solution we’ve evaluated and allows us to seamlessly achieve continuous access to systems for our clients who can’t afford any extended downtime.”
Joost Verhofstad, channel sales manager at Stratus Technologies adds, “Some of the largest organisations in the world use Stratus everRun Extend, powered by Arcserve RHA, to transform their applications into continuously available solutions. Arcserve’s Replication and High Availability technology is added to Stratus’ leading offering of high-availability and fault-tolerant system solutions, in order to meet any and all of Stratus’ customers system redundancy and availability needs in the best possible way.”
