Companies around the world today are heavily dependent on their business systems and part of this process involves keeping their enterprise applications, databases, and ERP systems up to date with the latest technology. However, what many organizations may not have realized is that they need the appropriate IT resources along with specialized skill sets to operate and oversee their upgraded environments. Organizations must also ensure their systems remain available at all times, as outages can result in financial losses and reputational damage.
SIOS Technology Corp. aims to address this need through the addition of a Web Management Console (LKWMC) in the latest version of the SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux which provides businesses with extensive High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) capabilities. Their focus on automation of HA/DR solutions will provide a simple, reliable and a cost-effective measure for organizations that currently rely on manual interaction to ensure their HA/DR systems function smoothly.
“By simplifying and enhancing high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) solutions, SIOS is empowering these generalist IT administrators to effectively manage and maintain complex application environments, eliminating the need for IT architects with specialized, costly skills,” said Margaret Hoagland, Vice President of Global Marketing at SIOS Technology Corp.
When compared to manual solutions, the LKWMC provides administrators with simplified processes and greater visibility in installation, deployment, and troubleshooting. This leads to greater accuracy and time saving during configuration and management of these systems. Furthermore, the Web Management Console enhances the firewall management with only 2 Transmission Control Protocol ports required, increasing the security of the solution without compromising on accessibility. The Web Management Console is accessible across a variety of devices such as smartphones or tablets and, in addition, SIOS offers support services for most leading platforms, operation systems, and SAP integration making the console extremely versatile and functional.
In the words of Masahiro Arai, Chief Operating Officer, SIOS Technology Corp. “LKWMC lays the groundwork for future innovations that will dramatically improve the way companies implement and manage HA/DR.”
