Our clustering solutions enable high availability for your most
critical applications. Through our expertise in multiple operating
systems and enterprise applications, we are able to recommend the high
availability solution that is most suitable for your
environment.
When
building a high availability solution, it is also important to note the
business requirements and SLAs as these can affect
the design
of the solution altogether. In addition, it is crucial to note what we
are protecting against in a high availability solution. In all our
engagements, the Servtec team will conduct a pre-implementation study
on: a) the objectives and requirements of the high availability
solution, b) the applications we will be clustering and c) the
hardware and infrastructure available and translate all these into a
design that meets your business requirements.
If you have an
existing HA solution, you might also like to engage our
assessment service on your current HA strategy. Very often,
even a
slight change in resource or application configuration can affect the
success of recovering of your applications in the event of a failure.
Our assessment service takes a thorough look at all resource &
resource group configuration, and their inter-dependencies to ensure
that your HA strategy is sound.
