CA XOsoft High Availability Solution Suite
CA XOsoft HA is a high availability solution based on asynchronous real-time replication and automatic failover and failback to provide cost-effective business continuity for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Microsoft IIS webservers, file servers, and other applications on both 32- and 64 bit Windows servers.
CA XOsoft HA offers automated push-button or fully automatic failover of mission-critical application servers over a LAN or WAN, application-aware status monitoring, integrated continuous data protection as a guard against data corruption, and completely non-disruptive automatic testing of your disaster recovery system, all in a system that sets the standard for ease of configuration and management.
When disaster strikes, whether in the form of a hurricane, a blackout, or far more likely, a virus attack or software or user error, the ability to respond well to the crisis can make the difference between a bright future and the end of your business. At the very least, you are likely to incur significant costs in lost business and, perhaps more importantly, lost confidence by customers, investors, and other stakeholders. Business continuity is not just about insurance. It is about maintaining your competitive edge.
CA XOsoft HA, a High Availability Solution for True Business Continuity; Quick Specs
CA XOsoft HA is a high availability business continuity solution that integrates several technologies to provide continuous availability of your mission-critical application servers through a wide range of disruptions from server failure to data corruption to the loss of an entire site.
CA XOsoft HA provides:
- Asynchronous host-based software data replication that transfers changes to application data as they occur to a standby replica server located locally or over the WAN
- Automatic monitoring of your production application, including both server availability and the state of application services and data for supported applications like Exchange, Oracle, and SQL Server
- Push-button or auto-triggered automatic failover of all users to a standby server, which may be on the same network or across a WAN at an arbitrarily distant site
- Push-button or automatic failover back to the original server when ready
- Continuous data protection solution based on XOsoft's Rewind Technology for recovery from data corrupted by virus action or user or application error
- Tailored support for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Oracle, and file servers, as well as other applications
- Unique ease of installation with no application or user downtime, automated remote installation, and wizard-driven creation of new disaster recovery scenarios
- Assessment mode measures exact change rate during evaluation to aid in estimating bandwidth requirements.
Major benefits of CA XOsoft HA High Availability Automatic Failover Solution include:
- Broader Protection for Reduced Vulnerability
- Increased Productivity Through Automatic Failover and Auto-Configuration
- True Business Continuity with Reduced Complexity and Cost
- Increased Flexibility to Fit Your Needs and Environment
Extending CA XOsoft HA Solutions to New Applications
Application-specific versions of CA XOsoft HA support the ability to monitor application services, to start and stop services during failover or failback, to check which server is currently active and which passive, and to redirect users from one server to another. For supported CA XOsoft HA applications like SQL, Exchange, IIS and Oracle, all of these capabilities are built into the product and available out-of-the-box. In addition, however, for every single one of these actions it is possible to register a user-defined script which can augment or replace those in the application-specific versions or add them to the CA XOsoft HA Server version.
