Egenera awarded N+1 disaster recovery patent

Egenera Inc., the data center virtualization company, has announced that the US Patent and Trademark Office has issued US Patent No. 7,178,059 to the company for its innovation in N+1 disaster recovery.

Entitled ‘Disaster recovery for processing resources using configurable deployment platform,’ this patent is for a system that simplifies and accelerates moving entire clusters of servers, including their storage and networking connections, to a remote site. Leveraging Egenera's Processing Area Network (PAN) architecture, clusters are reinstated within minutes at the new site, without hardware configuration. A single back-up site can adopt the configuration of any number of primary sites on demand.
