EASY High Availability with RCVE
Today IT solutions are of central importance when it comes to keeping business processes on track, internally as well as with customers and
partners. Typically one single business process is supported by several applications. From the perspective of the IT infrastructure, this means
that several servers with various applications are run in parallel. Every server must be available and deliver sufficient performance. If this is
not guaranteed, the business process is negatively affected – worst case, the service is interrupted.
Often classical HA solutions are not suited to minimize these risks, especially for small and medium-sized IT environments. Such clusters
are too complex, difficult to manage, and they are expensive. In addition, they cannot be used with many types of applications for technical
reasons. To keep their business running, most enterprises really need a low-cost and easy-to-scale high-availability solution for their
applications.
Why High Availability is important to any enterprise?
In numerous companies IT is the driving force of the business, i.e. many processes today can no longer function without IT systems. And as a
consequence of the dependence on IT the business risk also increases. Today, server systems and applications offer critical business functions,
such as: e-commerce, web, databases, CRM or ERP. This results in the requirement that business-critical functions frequently have to be available
on a 24x7 basis. System failures have a direct impact on turnover figures, productivity, prestige and the economic development of companies. As
the downtime increases, the impact becomes more dramatic.
This is why it is important to use technologies that are able to minimize unplanned IT downtimes.
