HA and DR for Cloud

Applications in the cloud are still vulnerable to unexpected outages and unplanned downtime. Cloud availability service level agreements (SLAs) usually just cover the hardware but fall short when it comes to ensuring high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) for stateful applications. Without robust HA clustering solutions, organizations face challenges like failing over across cloud regions or handling complex application dependencies.

In this interview, Jason Huff, Linux Product Owner at SIOS Technology, discusses trends in the HA and DR market as organizations increasingly adopt cloud technologies. Jason highlights how SIOS simplifies HA and DR for critical applications like SAP HANA, SQL Server, and Oracle by reducing complexity, automating failover processes, and offering solutions that span cloud regions and availability zones.

Key Topics Covered:
Challenges of maintaining HA and DR for cloud-based applications.
How SIOS LifeKeeper ensures four nines (99.99%) of availability with advanced clustering.
New features like SAP HANA multi-target automation for streamlined disaster recovery.
Why cloud-native tools alone may not provide sufficient protection for critical workloads.
Solutions for hybrid environments, multi-cloud setups, and managed service providers.

Discover how SIOS Technology enables organizations to embrace the cloud with confidence, leveraging robust HA and DR solutions for mission-critical applications.
