Give your data center all the high-availability nines it needs

The inability to keep mission-critical applications running can result in the loss of revenue, productivity, and reputation. Symantec can help you meet rigorous service level agreements (SLAs) for high availability.

Designed to provide maximum uptime for your mission-critical applications across Linux and other operating platforms, Symantec solutions enable you to achieve the following:

Maintain business continuity with a complete disaster recovery strategy

Many enterprises with a Linux environment don’t have a complete tool to help them recover in the event of a disaster and must resort to implementing standalone local data replication or a combination of local data replication with application clustering to protect their Linux environments. This method may not be effective since the replication tool is not integrated with the clustering tool, requiring a large degree of human intervention to ensure recovery. In addition, enterprises do not have the time or budget to perform testing of their business continuity plans.

Symantec can help you recover quickly from downtime

For the most effective DR strategy it is simply not enough just to have a DR site, you also need to ensure you can efficiently fail over to the DR site so customers and staff can continue to access applications. In the event of a disaster causing a complete data center outage, it is imperative that mission-critical applications be brought online as quickly as possible at an alternate site. Symantec addresses key recovery time objectives (RTO) with the following:

Open and Flexible Mission-Critical Computing

Over the past few years, Symantec and Red Hat have been working together to give you the confidence to achieve the economics and flexibility of a Linux environment while maintaining service levels in your data center.
