WANdisco launches new high availability disaster recovery solution for Linux

WANdisco has announced the release of WANdisco HADR for high availability and disaster recovery. WANdisco HADR leverages WANdisco’s ‘active-active’ replication architecture and self-healing capabilities to provide continuous real-time backup, while making failover and disaster recovery automatic and transparent to both users and administrators.

WANdisco HADR is claimed to be the only solution that captures everything up to the moment of failure, so that no data is lost in the event of a network outage or server crash. In addition, WANdisco HADR restores user access immediately after a server failure. WANdisco HADR delivers these capabilities over a LAN, or a WAN.

WANdisco HADR:
* Makes recovery fast and seamless. When the primary server comes back online after an outage, WANdisco HADR will bring the primary server up-to-date with any new transactions that were committed to the backup server during the outage. Recovery happens automatically without any intervention from an administrator.

* Makes outages and failover transparent to users as well as administrators. With WANdisco HADR, when the primary server fails, clients are dynamically rerouted to the backup server without administrator intervention. When the primary server becomes available it is automatically resynchronized with the changes that were written to the secondary server during the outage.

* Provides proactive monitoring capabilities that enable IT organizations to address problems before availability is impacted.

* Delivers transaction-aware continuous real-time backup capability to ensure that the primary and backup servers are continuously in sync.

* Provides optional integration with high capacity tape archiving solutions to allow source code repositories to be backed up to tape.
