Eliminate the Single Point of Failure
Based on Double-Take Software's proven Double-Take replication technology, GeoCluster extends the capabilities of Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) to create a stretch cluster. While MSCS and clustering in general provide a high level of application availability, MSCS clusters maintain only a single copy of the data and only provide failover within a single site. Built on top of MSCS, GeoCluster offers added data protection, assuring continual access to data and applications across sites.
GeoCluster benefits:
- Offers Enhanced Multi-Site Disaster Recovery
Ensures that business-critical data and applications can be recovered quickly through real-time, offsite data protection and failover
- Allows for Improved Data Protection
Reduces exposure to data loss and eliminates the single point of failure of shared disk storage with byte-level replication ensuring maximum application performance and minimum bandwidth requirements
- Ensures High Availability
Eliminates or greatly reduces downtime with automatic failover technologies
- Provides Greater Flexibility
Supports clusters using existing servers and storage because only replicated drive letters and capacity need to match between cluster nodes
- Is a Lower Cost Option
Provides the best possible protection at the lowest cost since channel extenders or storage routers are not required
