SafeKit Video - Virtual IP address with load balancing and failover
Evidian SafeKit
Virtual IP address with load balancing and failover
SafeKit: an ideal solution for a partner application
This platform agnostic solution is ideal for a partner with a critical application and who wants to provide a high availability option easy to deploy to many customers.
This clustering solution is also recognized as the simplest to implement by our partners.

Advanced clustering architectures
Several modules can be deployed on the same cluster. Thus, advanced clustering architectures can be implemented:
- the farm+mirror cluster built by deploying a farm module and a mirror module on the same cluster,
- the active/active cluster with replication built by deploying several mirror modules on 2 servers,
- the Hyper-V cluster or KVM cluster with real-time replication and failover of full virtual machines between 2 active hypervisors,
- the N-1 cluster built by deploying N mirror modules on N+1 servers.
