Fault Tolerant SolutionsFault Tolerant Solutions

What is Fault Tolerance / Redundancy?• Ability to continue without stoppage when a

hardware or software failure occursWhat is a Fault Tolerant Server?• Single box replacement for a workstation /

Server• Designed for 99.999% or greater uptime

- No more than 5 minutes of downtime / year

• Replicated, fault-tolerant hardware components• “Lockstep” technology at the instruction level

Microsoft Cluster SupportMicrosoft Cluster Support

Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)•Widely used•Heartbeat technology to detect failure•Restart failed applications on same

node•Move applications upon node failure• Intended for file servers, print servers,

database servers, and other servers

Microsoft Cluster SupportMicrosoft Cluster Support

Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)•Application state not saved by cluster•Applications are responsible for this•Failover time:- Seconds to Minutes- Depends on Custer Configuration- Depends on Application

• ICONICS Software can run on Clusters- Contact ICONICS for more Information

Marathon everRunMarathon everRun

What we do? • Provide simple and affordable alternatives to clusters and proprietary

hardware• Automated, yet comprehensive application availability on standard servers• Deliver turn-key availability solutions• High Availability and Fault Tolerance for ANY Windows application

How do we do it?• We use a patented virtualization architecture instead of traditional

clustering/failover technologies• Create a single Windows platform environment using two servers• ComputeThru® instead of failover• Provide Intelligent Policy Management – automatic vs. scripted, manual

policy
