Software high availability for software publishers

Add a multi-platform high-availability option to your applications

An increasing number of software vendors are integrating SafeKit as a high-availability option in their application suites. This brings benefits for the vendors and their clients alike.

For the software publishers:

• The ability to propose an integrated HA option makes the product more attractive
• The software publisher is not dependent on a specific hardware solution. By implementing high availability on all that kind of material, the publisher controls the solution throughout the software development process: development, validation, installation and after-sales support
• Using the same HA solution across multiple platforms with no need for added hardware saves time and reduces integration and testing costs

For clients wanting the added security of high-availability:

• Having an HA option integrated with the product simplifies acquisition and deployment: standard servers with no additional hardware
• As the HA option is provided and maintained by the software publisher, less training and lower operational overhead
• Typically, an integrated software-based clustering solution costs far less than multiple licenses plus hardware add-ons

Integration of your application with SafeKit involves building your own application module (an appli.safe file). This work is faster if you can base your application module on an existing module. You can start integration without formalities, by downloading SafeKit from the Internet for free trial.
