Evidian SafeKit

Receive a free SafeKit one-month license key by e-mail for Windows or Linux

Click on the button "Get a free trial key >". Fill the form and then in step 2, check your e-mail address and press the "Confirm" button.

This license key gives access to all SafeKit features: network load balancing, real-time replication and failover. After, you can replace it with a permanent license key.

If you do not have downloaded the SafeKit software, you can access to a free download of the SafeKit clustering software here.

SafeKit Modules for Plug&Play Redundancy and High Availability Solutions

Advanced clustering architectures

Several modules can be deployed on the same cluster. Thus, advanced clustering architectures can be implemented:

Microsoft SQL Server Cluster

This video shows a mirror module configuration with synchronous real-time replication and failover.

The file replication and the failover are configured for Microsoft SQL Server but it works in the same manner for other databases.

Free trial here

Apache Cluster

This video shows a farm module configuration with load balancing and failover.

The load balancing and the failover are configured for Apache but it works in the same manner for other web services.

Hyper-V Cluster

This video shows a Hyper-V cluster with full replications of virtual machines.

Virtual machines can run on both Hyper-V servers and they are restarted in case of failure.
