The reason a customer, searching for suitable cloud service, choose one hosting company over another mostly depends on the specific functionality and level of security they offer for a specific (read: low) price. However, finding a proven performance solution for cloud that meets all client’s expectations is not an easy task.

Application server data is vital for every company and a loss of its availability due to a major failure or catastrophe would be devastating. Many companies use traditional tape backup to protect themselves from such disasters. More reasonable approach involves solutions that will automatically save backup data on a remote server.

High availability is crucial to many applications. Despite using high-quality hardware and superior connection, any node (network, server, storage equipment, etc) is still subject to crashes due to power shortages, communication and equipment faults, fire incidents, maintenance problems or a human factor. These crashes result in a loss of all active connections and data transactions, as well as service termination. The main goal of Failover is to protect company server against such cases.

Making regular backups is a necessary but laborious and time consuming task. As the amount of information increases, the process becomes longer and even more cumbersome. Ultimately the question of data integrity arises: How reliably can backups be restored and how fast can mission critical systems be brought back online?
