SteelEye Supports Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity for Windows Server 2008 R2

Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2009

SteelEye Technology, Inc. (steeleye.com), a leading provider of business continuity and disaster recovery solutions for multi-vendor IT infrastructures, today announced SteelEye DataKeeper support for Windows Server 2008 R2, including support for multi-site clusters of Hyper-V, SQL Server, File/Print, DHCP and all other Microsoft cluster resource types.

DataKeeper, a highly optimized data replication solution for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, is available in two versions. The first delivers data replication services as an extension to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, while a second version of DataKeeper Cluster Edition further extends the capabilities of Microsoft Cluster Services and Windows Server Failover Clustering. Both editions support real-time replication of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machines between physical servers across either LAN or WAN connections.

“Windows Server 2008 R2 with support for Live Migration of Hyper-V virtual machines across data centers is a best-of-breed solution that is unrivaled in the market today,” said David Bermingham, director of product management, SteelEye Technology. “The first time our customers see that they are able to live migrate a Hyper-V virtual machine to a remote data center, they are blown away. Moving virtual machines between servers in the same data center has become commonplace. However, by deploying Windows Server 2008 R2 and SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition, we have removed the physical barrier, enabling customers to migrate Hyper-V virtual machines between data centers as easily as they can migrate virtual machines between servers.”

By keeping a running Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machine synchronized with a standby VM in an alternate location, DataKeeper enables disaster recovery without the data loss typically associated with traditional backup and restore technology. Real-time continuous replication of active Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V VMs ensures that in the event of a disaster, the standby server can be activated with minimal to no data loss.

DataKeeper Cluster Edition allows administrators to build “shared-nothing” and geographically dispersed Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V clusters. By eliminating the requirement for shared storage, the administrator can protect against both planned and unplanned downtime for servers and storage. The use of DataKeeper with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V VMs allows for non-disruptive disaster recovery testing. By simply accessing the replicated VMs in the disaster recovery site, the administrator can segment a virtual network separate from the production network and start the replicated VMs for disaster recovery testing. An administrator can perform complete disaster recovery testing without impacting the production site.

In addition to support for Hyper-V clusters, SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition enables multi-site clusters for all other Microsoft cluster resource types such as SQL Server, Exchange, File/Print and DHCP. SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition reduces the cost of deploying clusters by eliminating the need for a SAN and increases the availability of the application by eliminating the single point of a failure that the SAN represents in a traditional cluster.

Visucate, a California-based academic value-added reseller of the Autodesk design software, selected SteelEye’s disaster recovery and business continuity solutions for its Hyper-V set-up.

“Knowing that data loss is one of the bigger causes for small businesses to fail, we had to do something about protecting our data,” said Visucate’s Chief Technical Officer Jeremy Null. “We needed an easy to implement, easy to maintain solution for providing higher protection for our data and critical systems, and we needed it to be cost effective. We needed our servers to replicate and be able to ‘hold their own’ on a standalone basis, so that if one failed the other could take over. SteelEye DataKeeper Cluster Edition does this for us.”

Ignition supports public sector electronic records management

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (PRWEB) July 15, 2011

Ignition Ltd., an expert in document and records management services, is supporting the move towards electronic records management in the public sector by providing records management services to scan and index over half a million documents for the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands (MACI).

To maintain the Cayman Islands standing as the flag of choice for the vessel owning community, MACI strives to make use of the latest technology to provide the highest levels of customer service. With offices and inspectors operating all over the world, the Authority needs to be able to share and manage information systematically across a wide geographical area. One of the best strategies is to provide digital access to records in an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system.

Ignitions scanning team creates high-quality images of MACIs paper files, in a controlled workflow process. These images are captured into the ECM system and managed according to government and international standards.

Were really pleased to support MACI in their move to an ECM system, noted Sonya Sherman, a senior records consultant at Ignition. Daily use of digitised documents can protect fragile paper originals from damage caused by excess handling. They are also easier to backup, as part of a regular plan for business continuity and disaster recovery.

The digitised documents can be used concurrently, by multiple users, to share knowledge across various locations. This can significantly increase business efficiency and improve customer service.
