S2 says its new solution offers organizations a system that is easier to configure, faster to deploy and less expensive than second generation solutions.
The High Availability solution uses two network-connected systems in redundant configuration.
S2’s High Availability option sets up in minutes and delivers 99.999% uptime with minimal administration, the company claims.
In normal operation, the two systems continuously synchronize, automatically failing over as necessary. Resynchronization after failover and repair is also automatic.
S2 Security CEO John Moss said: “Highly available systems are important for many of our clients for whom regulatory compliance creates demanding uptime requirements.
“Organizations can set up S2’s fully redundant system within minutes without special training, software or equipment. This solution is another example of how S2’s IP-based model brings increased capabilities and ease-of-use to organizations of all sizes.”
S2’s High Availability solution is a built-in feature of the NetBox Extreme, Enterprise and other large S2 systems (build 458 or later), and runs multiple systems simultaneously, ensuring that there is no downtime.
