Infortrend HA Service Ensures HA for Operations of Business-Critical Applications

Infortrend Technology, Inc. enhances BC with the HA Service, ensuring HA of enterprise applications such as database, web server, and mail server.

This solution offers a cost-effective way to realize continuous operations of business-critical applications in enterprises.

The HA Service is supported on EonStor GS scale-out unified storage solution for enterprises. GS features HA through its dual-redundant controller design, and with the HA service, this value is further enhanced. Enterprises can take advantage of site resilience provided by the HA Service by utilizing 2 GS appliances. The solution guarantees no data loss by storing identical copies of data on 2 storage systems. Service transition between the storage units is almost instantaneous, so users do not notice any interruption during scheduled storage maintenance, as well as unexpected emergencies, such as power outages.

The HA Service is beneficial for business-critical applications where HA is crucial. For example, any downtime in database applications, such as ERP systems or online/onsite store transactions, can lead to revenue losses. Interruptions in web servers’ operations can negatively impact the company’s reputation, as vital business services such as product information, order processing, and customer service become unreachable during such occurrences. Disruption in email services can hinder interaction with partners and clients, leading to delays in communication and decreased productivity. The firm’s customers, who opted for the HA Service, have already realized its benefits: The solution ensures HA for these applications, furthermore, it reduces the time required for recovery in case of a failure.

“Our HA Service offers a simple, reliable, and cost-saving solution which enhances availability for business-critical applications, minimizes downtime, and safeguards business continuity,” said Frank Lee, senior director, product planning.
