Eliminate Downtime!

Most modern businesses are very dependent on their Information Technology (IT) systems. Very few firms could continue to operate successfully if their computer systems were unavailable for very long. Down-time is expensive and can lead to lost data, lost revenue, or worse yet, lost customers. There are many potential causes of systems down-time, some of which include:

Natural disasters
Power failures
Rogue employee activity
Acts of terrorism, sabotage, or arson

What is High Availability (HA)

Making systems highly available is not an inexpensive or simple proposition. Some companies with fully mission critical IT systems and large budgets opt to replicate their entire IT environment and place it on hot standby. If primary systems go down, a fail-over sequence initiates the alternate systems. Other companies opt for a lower cost approach of an active/active solution whereby all systems are active and loads are simply re-balanced to other systems if failures occur. A more cost-effective approach is to identify truly mission critical systems and build localized redundancy for just those systems.

The Technology's Edge Approach

Understanding that fault tolerance is a continuum with many points along this line

Analysis of various possible approached to optimize the balance between cost and up-time required

Determine which customer's systems are truly mission-critical and cannot go down to maintain productivity

Design of redundancy solutions for mission-critical systems so they become fault tolerant

Implementation of hardware and software based high availability solutions

Analyze the tolerance for down-time of non-mission-critical systems
