Description
SIOS DataKeeper is a block-level replication solution tailored for host-based environments, providing real-time redundancy either synchronously or asynchronously for Windows Server setups, and it integrates effortlessly with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC). This innovative solution facilitates the creation of "SANless" clusters, removing the need for shared-storage systems by enabling data replication across various local, virtual, or cloud servers such as VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, all while ensuring optimized performance without the necessity for specialized hardware accelerators or compression tools. After installation, it introduces a new SIOS DataKeeper Volume resource within WSFC, allowing for the support of geographically distributed clusters through cross-subnet failover and customizable heartbeat settings. Additionally, it features built-in WAN optimization and effective compression to enhance bandwidth utilization over both local and wide-area networks, thereby improving overall network efficiency. This combination of features makes SIOS DataKeeper an excellent choice for organizations looking to enhance their data availability without the complexities of traditional storage solutions.
Description
Failover Clustering in Windows Server (and Azure Local) allows a collection of independent servers to collaborate, enhancing both availability and scalability for clustered roles, which were previously referred to as clustered applications and services. These interconnected nodes utilize a combination of hardware and software solutions, ensuring that if one node encounters a failure, another node seamlessly takes over its responsibilities through an automated failover mechanism. Continuous monitoring of clustered roles ensures that if they cease to function properly, they can be restarted or migrated to uphold uninterrupted service. Additionally, this feature includes support for Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs), which create a cohesive, distributed namespace and enable reliable shared storage access across all nodes, thereby minimizing potential service interruptions. Common applications of Failover Clustering encompass high‑availability file shares, SQL Server instances, and Hyper‑V virtual machines. This functionality is available on Windows Server versions 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, as well as within Azure Local environments, making it a versatile choice for organizations looking to enhance their system resilience. By leveraging Failover Clustering, organizations can ensure their critical applications remain available even in the event of hardware failures.
