High Availability for Mission Critical Applications in Amazon AWS

Webinar: High Availability for Mission Critical Applications in Amazon AWS

In this webinar, Amazon Web Services solutions architect Vikram Garlapati and SIOS’ Director of Field Engineering Tony Tomarchio, discuss the use of SANless clusters to provide high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) protection for SQL, SAP, File Servers, and other enterprise-class applications running in Amazon EC2. By eliminating the need for shared storage, SANless clusters enable you to use native Windows Server Failover Clustering for flexible, cost-efficient HA and DR in an Amazon EC2 environment.

This webinar also features an in-depth case study on Spirent, an enterprise company that is moving its business critical applications to Amazon EC2 and using SANless clusters for HA and DR protection.

SIOS Provides High Availability and Disaster Protection to Epicure

Epicure Protects Business Critical SQL Server, Provides High Availability And Disaster Protection With Amazon EC2 And SIOS #SANLess Clustering Software

Case Study: Epicure Selections — SIOS DataKeeper SANless Clusters

Epicure needed a solution to provide High Availability and Disaster Protection for their two websites. Both of which are highly critical to their business operations.

The websites run on a single server using two instances of SQL Server Standard Edition—one for each website. As the company expanded its products and services, the Epicure IT department needed an update. It had to ensure both of its business-critical websites would continue to operate in the event of failures or disasters. They decided to move both websites from a third-party hosted facility to its on-premises data center. Also, to use Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud for disaster protection and recovery.

As part of this website update process, Epicure IT staff wanted something efficient and cost effective. A solution that can provide high availability and disaster protection for both websites. And at the same time, continuing to run them on two instances of SQL Server Standard Edition.

The SIOS software was a fit for Epicure. SIOS was an easy, cost-efficient way to provide High Availability and disaster protection and recovery for its business-critical SQL Server applications. All without the cost and complexity of building out a remote DR site or purchasing costly SAN storage or SQL Server Enterprise Edition licenses.

Gulliver Use WSFC To Build A Failover Cluster In AWS Cloud

SIOS DataKeeper Clustering Software Enables Gulliver International to Move Internal IT Systems to AWS Cloud Safely

Case Study: Gulliver — SIOS DataKeeper SANless Clusters

Gulliver International has plans to migrate all of its internal systems to AWS Cloud. The company is a leading pre-owned car company based in Tokyo with 420 locations throughout Japan. Over the next four years, Gulliver International plans to expand into a global business with 1600 stores worldwide.

It is promoting a company-wide “cloud-first” policy for all new applications. To ensure its IT infrastructure can accommodate this rapid growth, the company needs to find an appropriate software that would help to migrate to cloud safely and with High Availability.

SIOS DataKeeper software enables Gulliver to use Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) to build a failover cluster in a cloud environment, where traditional shared storage clusters are not possible. SIOS software uses efficient, real time replication to synchronize storage between servers operating as a WSFC cluster in an AWS environment. Using SIOS software, Gulliver can configure two servers operating as a cluster across separate Amazon Availability Zones.

Just as in a traditional physical environment, if there is a failure on the primary server in the AWS cloud within one Availability Zone, WSFC moves the application to the second server located in another Amazon Availability Zone, providing full disaster tolerance and recovery in AWS cloud.

With SIOS DataKeeper software, Gulliver can move to the AWS cloud without adding complexity or disruption to existing operations.  About 30 percent of Gulliver’s existing on-premises systems have been migrated to AWS without any changes to the company’s system administration or added complexity

High Availability for Global Retailer’s Mission-Critical Systems To Eliminate Risks

Case Study: High Availability for Global Retailer’s Mission-Critical Systems

By adding SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition to a Windows Server Failover Clustering environment in the Amazon Web Services cloud, this global retailer migrated a complex infrastructure into a high availability cluster in the cloud easily and without any downtime.

SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition provided the retailer the high-availability protection they needed and eliminated the risks associated with a single point of failure in shared storage SAN cluster configurations. The SIOS failover process enabled automatic system and application recovery and prevented data loss if a server goes down, allowing the retailer’s customers to shop and place orders online safely without any interruptions.
