Business Continuity Leader SteelEye Technology Debuts Industry's First Multi-Site Cluster Solution for Linux
2008-10-15
Solution leverages SteelEye's expertise in business continuity and
availability management to extend protection for disaster recovery
LONDON, ENGLAND - October 15, 2008 (PRWEB) - SteelEye Technology, Inc. (steeleye.com),
a leading provider of business continuity and disaster recovery solutions for
multi-vendor IT infrastructures, today announced SteelEye Protection Suite for
Linux Multi-Site Cluster at Storage Expo 2008 in London. This solution extends
SteelEye's leading business continuity technology for Linux environments by
enabling organizations with shared-storage Linux clusters within a data center
to leverage another off-site replicated node for disaster recovery. The unique
product offering is ideal for Linux users looking to cost-effectively extend
existing high-availability capabilities as well as for those instituting
first-time high-availability clustering and disaster recovery technologies.
As the burden of enterprise data grows, hightended emphasis is placed on how to
manage, store and, most importantly, secure that data. By adding additional node
for disaster recovery, SteelEye is providing data protection whether the server
is local or on another continent. It provides additional protection for
unforeseen events as well as planned downtime, such as data center moves.
"SteelEye is addressing IT's growing need for business continuity and disaster
recovery for x86 servers running enterprise Linux applications and databases,"
said Jean S. Bozman, Research Vice President, IDC. "By extending the reach of
local Linux x86 server clusters via a WAN connection?and by replicating the data
across a WAN?SteelEye is offering an all-in-one solution that leverages both its
LifeKeeper and DataKeeper products."
IDC's recently published Availability and Clustering Software (ACS) forecast
shows that ACS products supporting Linux and open-source environments are
carving out a significant presence in this worldwide market?with an expected
doubling of revenue-based market share from 9.1% of all ACS revenue in 2007 to
18.1%, by 2012.1
Specifically, SteelEye Protection Suite for Linux Multi-Site Cluster offers
outstanding robustness and flexibility in its optimized host-based data
replication technology. It allows for the inclusion of a remote system as part
of a local shared storage cluster, extending disaster recovery protection to all
file systems as if they are part of a classic shared storage cluster. Similarly,
existing shared storage clusters can be enhanced with disaster recovery
protection. Armed with SteelEye's trademark flexibility, the product also
integrates easily and automatically with heterogeneous hardware and software
environments as well as existing SteelEye product offerings.
"SteelEye's flexible, host-based solutions are ideal for providing
cost-effective disaster recovery in heterogeneous environments," said Dwain
Sims, director of product management, SteelEye Technology, Inc. "Organizations
don't need another storage array or expensive feature add-ons to deploy the
high-availability clustering and data replication technology that ensures
business continuity in the event of a disaster."
