Building Management & SecurityBuilding Management & SecuritySIOS appreciates that every aspect of building management and security (BMS) —from monitoring and surveillance systems to computerized maintenance management to power management systems, relies on critical applications and data. SIOS high availability clustering software protects these critical systems from unplanned failures at any level; infrastructure, network, and application and through local, regional, and/or site-wide disasters. Video Management Systems (VMS)Electronic monitoring and surveillance systems may comprise a wide range of subsystems, including video management systems, access control systems, perimeter protection, physical security information management (PSIM) software, fire safety systems and others. Even brief downtime for these systems could put the entire facility at risk of intrusion, theft, vandalism, fire. ![]() Across All Platforms and Operating SystemsWhether these systems are running in virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V), traditional on-premises, or cloud environments, SIOS clustering software protects applications without the need for specialized hardware or configuration restrictions. Use SIOS DataKeeper with Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) for robust HA/DR protection without the cost and complexity of shared storage. Use SIOS Protection Suite for Linux for powerful application-aware clustering in a Linux environment. Building ManagementTotal building management solutions work by providing an end-to-end solution for all building operations in a single platform. They are a convergence of multiple systems, spanning video surveillance management, recording and archival, voice, data, storage, industrial monitoring (SCADA systems), HVAC, building and power management, security systems, video intercoms, irrigation, billboards, lifts, and lighting control. Many are designed as a powerful platform that integrates multiple vendor applications within it including product from Johnson Control, Philips Dynalite, and Schneider Electric and others. SIOS DataKeeper integrates with Microsoft Windows Server Failover Clustering to deliver simple, cost efficient, high availability for virtual (VMware or Hyper-V) machines that supported multiple integrations of devices and data security. SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux delivers robust, application-aware HA/DR protection for systems running in open source environments. |

Webinar: Business Continuity Considerations for Hybrid and Cloud-based SQL Server DeploymentsWebinar: Business Continuity Considerations for Hybrid and Cloud-based SQL Server DeploymentsRegister for the On-Demand WebinarAvailability is one of the core tenets for any SQL Server deployment – the business needs to stay up and running. This session will cover how achieving that goal for hybrid and cloud-only deployments of SQL Server is both similar to as well as different from purely on-premises (physical or virtual) configurations. You’ll also get top tips, tricks, dos, and don’ts for successfully deploying and administering Always On Availability Groups, Failover Cluster Instances, and more to be an availability hero when you are not just deploying on-premises solutions anymore.

Fact Sheet: Oil & GasFact Sheet: Oil & GasProtecting Systems from Downtime and Data LossSIOS Technology’s high availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR) software protects critical applications, databases, and systems used in the oil and gas industry from downtime and disasters due to infrastructure, network, and application failures. Protects Both Windows and Linux Applications and DatabasesSIOS offers the flexibility to build SAN and SANless clusters for Windows or Linux environments on-premises physical servers, virtualized servers, and in the cloud. Easily move Windows Server Failover Clustering to the cloud without disruption, or build a Linux clustering environment with application-specific intelligence built-in. Configure clusters across cloud availability zones and regions for maximum HA/DR protection, or create hybrid cloud to meet your specific needs. SIOS helps you ensure regulatory requirements are met, while keeping your systems online and available at all times. SIOS DataKeeperUse SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition software to protect your business-critical Windows applications and the databases they run on, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, in a physical, virtual, or cloud environment. Add SIOS DataKeeper to a Windows Server Failover Clustering environment to create a SANless cluster where traditional shared storage clusters are impossible or impractical. Fast, efficient host-based replication synchronizes local storage on all cluster nodes for maximum configuration flexibility. Or, add replication to your existing SAN-based Windows cluster for DR.
SIOS Protection Suite for LinuxRun business-critical applications on-premises or in a flexible, scalable cloud environment such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, without sacrificing performance or high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) protection. SIOS clusters uniquely failover across cloud regions or availability zones for true HA protection. SIOS Protection Suite includes powerful Application Recovery Kits (ARKs) , that automate manual tasks, monitor the entire application stack, and ensure failovers are reliable and maintain application-specific best practices. SIOS ARKs ensure HA/DR protection out-of-the-box without the need for tuning, manual scripting, or specialized training.
The Industry’s Most Reliable Failover ProtectionSIOS products protect critical applications and databases on which the systems used by oil and gas companies run from downtime and data loss. HA/DR Fact SheetApplications ProtectedApplications used in the oil and gas industry, such as Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), that run on SQL Server, SAP HANA, and Oracle databases can be protected by SIOS HA/DR solutions.

Video: SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux v9.7 Adds New HA/DR Capabilities For SAP HANAVideo: SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux v9.7 Adds New HA/DR Capabilities For SAP HANAIn this video, our VP of Global Sales and Marketing Margaret Hoagland introduces the HANA Multitarget feature in our latest release of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux. Key highlights of this video interview: SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux is a high availability clustering software that protects critical applications such as SAP, S/4HANA, SQL Server, and Oracle from downtime and disasters. It works by detecting any kind of a failure on the primary node. In the event of a failure, it moves operations to a secondary node where it can continue. It supports major Linux distributions such as SUSE, Red Hat, Oracle, and Rocky. Customers can standardize their high availability environment and have the same experience regardless of the operating system. New features and capabilities in SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux v9.7, include HANA Multitarget:
This feature came directly from customer feedback. SIOS customers have large SAP environments with big HANA databases and complex disaster recovery requirements. This is a straightforward upgrade process, no caveats. If the customer is extending to a disaster recovery location, they need to consult the SIOS documentation for instructions.
