SIOS Technology Corp., a provider of application high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, has announced the release of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux version 9.9.0. Designed to help IT administrators streamline operations, enhance data security and ensure uninterrupted application availability through sitewide and regional disasters, here’s how the updates can help SAPinsiders in their HA and DR practice.

Among the updates introduced are advanced DR features, including synchronous and asynchronous data mirroring, intelligent failover mechanisms, enhanced security management, expanded language support and additional Linux operating system compatibility.

According to SIOS, the announcement aligns with the growing demand for enterprise applications and databases for business operations and the need for robust HA/DR solutions. As the company shared, IT administrators are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring continuous uptime and safeguarding against data loss, all while managing complex infrastructures and evolving security threats.

“Our latest release offers the flexibility to tailor HA replication strategies to meet specific needs while automating failover and ensuring reliable restoration processes,” said Masahiro Arai, COO of SIOS Technology.

“By eliminating complex manual steps, we ensure faster recovery times and maintain data consistency across all environments, saving both time and reducing the potential for human error.”

Key features of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux 9.9.0 that SAPinsiders should note include advanced disaster recovery protection, intelligent failover for added reliability, updated security management, expanded language support (German, Korean, Japanese and English) and additional support for Alma Linux and Amazon Linux 2023.

Specifically, users can utilize such functionalities as flexibility to create both synchronous and asynchronous replication for geographically separated DR sites, automatic failover with no need for time-consuming data resynchronization, fast and efficient failover processes that guarantee system integrity, enhanced security, maintainability and access control, and more.

Additionally, IT administrators can now grant elevated permissions to users without compromising security by using personalized access credentials. A SIOS spokesperson has said this will provide better traceability on SAP/HANA-related operations so administrators can review the activities from a security perspective.

In a world of cybersecurity risks and the need to protect one’s data, HA and DR are crucial in maintaining your business’s stability and flow of operations. To achieve this, deploying solutions that are designed and frequently updated to offer reliable HA/DR practice like the ones offered by SIOS may be the right solution for your organization.
