Evidian > Products > High Availability Software - Zero Extra Hardware > 10 mn webinar: how to easily implement a Business Continuity Plan and a Disaster Recovery Plan (BCP DRP)?
A Business Continuity Plan needs to use network load balancing boxes for scalability of Web services, shared disks to recover data, and failover toolkits delivered in Enterprise editions of Operating Systems and databases.
The Disaster Recovery Plan makes the solution more complex and increases the cost by requiring disk bays replicated across a SAN between two geographically remote sites.
SafeKit offers all these features in a single software and implements network load balancing, real-time replication and automatic failover.
As the SafeKit solution is purely software, you can implement a Business Continuity Plan and a Disaster Recovery Plan for a critical application with simply 2 machines (physical or virtual) put in two remote sites. No need to invest in expensive storage complex to install and to configure in 2 sites. It is a way to drastically reduce integration and validation costs of your BCP DRP project.
With SafeKit, there is no change in configuration between 2 machines running on the same site or 2 machines running in two remote sites. The two sites must remain in the same extended LAN or VLAN for the transparent failover of the virtual IP address and for network performances of the synchronous real-time replication.
To avoid 2 masters when machines are network isolated (quorum problem), SafeKit proposes a simple split brain checker configured on a router while other clustering solutions require a complex configuration with a third machine, a special quorum disk or a special interconnect.
