Linux High Availability

We live in an increasingly connected world, one in which virtually all your business relationships come with 24/7 expectations built in. Fortunately, the cost and performance of hardware and networking infrastructure to support these expectations has come down over the years, making business continuity feasible -- at least for some.

The fact remains, however, that in the event of a disruption the narrower the window you have defined for getting your business up and running again the more costly it is. As a result, too many organizations that have a 24/7 requirement are mired in traditional back-up processes (where back-ups take forever and recovery can take even longer) or are taking risky shortcuts, such as skipping back-ups altogether in the name of data availability.

The answer is not faster back-ups. Not faster recovery. Rather Continuous Availability . Simply put, it is assuring that an active, up-to-date copy of your data is not only always available, but always connected. Sound expensive? It needn’t be.
