HIGH AVAILABILITY IN LARGE-SCALE SERVER CLUSTERS
Business processes and operations depend on uninterrupted access to data and applications. Organizations may invest in shared storage systems for storage consolidation benefits. However, ensuring that all data and applications are accessible despite possible system failures is challenging in a data center. System recovery following a failure event must be fast and reliable, so that business operations can get back on track quickly - with minimal data loss. ExpressCluster X SAN maximizes resource utilization while providing high availability of data and applications in server and storage consolidation environment.

server and shared storage investments with high availability clustering capabilities for servers connected to external shared storage on the same local network. The solution supports large number of servers in a single cluster to maximize resource sharing. Organizations can even leverage the active/active configuration support in ExpressCluster X SAN to create a robust and cost effective high availability solution without purchasing additional server hardware.

RAPID RECOVERY FOR UNPLANNED SYSTEM OUTAGE
The software ensures quick and automatic recovery in case of system failure due to hardware and/or software problems. In normal operations, one or more standby servers continuously monitor the health of an active server. Upon detection of an active server failure, a standby server takes over all target application and data resources so that business-critical system services are recovered within minutes, instead of hours or days. Once a failed server is repaired, the system can automatically restore itself to its original state, without operator intervention. Administrators can also customize tasks such as system startup, processing, recovery/failure and resource re-allocation based on business requirements.

PLANNED DOWNTIME MITIGATION MADE EASIER
ExpressCluster X SAN enables administrators to execute hardware and software maintenance tasks that require system reboot with minimum system outage. Hardware and software maintenance can be performed with little overall system service outage by leveraging the easy and fast on-demand failover capability of ExpressCluster X SAN to move target applications from one server to another with minimum disruption.

READY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION DATA CENTER
As the challenge of managing large numbers of networked servers continues to grow in data centers, ExpressCluster X SAN is ready to help. It includes future-proof features such as full support for IP v6, the next generation IP network protocol, designed to accommodate expected growth of networked servers and automated lights-out server management through the use of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) protocol to minimize complexity and operational costs of the highly available server environment well into the future.
