HIGH-AVAILABILITY MONITORING
Anticipate resources failures and avoid costly downtimes by monitoring Veritas Storage Foundation products with Sentry Software’s High-Availability monitoring solutions.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Companies adopt diverse methods to optimize the performance of their networks in order to guarantee the highest availability of their data and resources: clustering for failover and load-balancing are common techniques that support redundancy, session or database replication, and load balancing requests across clustered-servers.
Keeping business-critical data permanently protected requires reliable and advanced technology that provides IT administrators with a clear visibility into the system and application performance.
Like any other redundant system, Veritas’ high availability solution needs to be closely monitored to detect the slightest glitch that may jeopardize the overall performance of an entire infrastructure and make the purpose of clustering itself totally ineffective.
Successfully sharing, storing, protecting and recovering ever-growing heaps of data can be the competitive advantage that speeds up your presence in the marketplace. The Sentry Software Availability Monitoring solution is designed to help detecting potential problems faster and help administrators maintain their IT infrastructure to prevent failures rather than reacting to breakdown at the worst possible times.
THE SENTRY SOFTWARE SOLUTION
The Sentry Software’s High-Availability Monitoring solution monitors all the key aspects of your Veritas environment to ensure your data is secured and available at all times. Potentially disruptive failures and trends are brought to your attention to help you take preventive actions and make the best implementation choices for your High-Availability system.
The combination of Veritas, BMC and Sentry’s solutions will help you achieve the best uptime scores in the market. Reliable businesses need reliable IT.
Whether you implemented Veritas Cluster Server, Veritas File System, or Veritas Volume Manager, Sentry Software can provide you with a monitoring solution that helps you anticipate key system, cluster, or other resource failures, and ensure problems are anticipated or dealt with quickly. All products are fully compatible with BMC TrueSight Operations Management and BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management.
