Business Continuity

Unexpected events can cause the disruption of service, resulting in productivity and revenue loss. The time it takes to recover from these events is another important factor. Ensuring the ongoing operation of business is a major concern within organizations today, and most companies continue to operate with only part of a solution. MetiLinx enables highly available, disaster tolerant and high performance computing environments.

MetiLinx technology allows pre-emptive management and autonomous recovery before, during and after a disastrous event.

Business Drivers

• Increase Revenue - higher availability provides increased revenue opportunities by allowing continuous service for revenue generating applications
• Increase Productivity - End users require systems to be available in order to be productive; reduced productivity leads to loss of quality, service and revenue
• Improve Customer Satisfaction - Disruption of service causes users to experience delay, data errors, and could potentially discourage loyalty
• Availability and Response Time - Regulatory and compliance mandates require the retention and access to data in a timely manner. To an end user, system availability is not only system uptime, but also how the system is performing in response to users' requests

MetiLinx solutions help enterprises to address the following concerns:

• How do I use what I have to create a highly available service platform?
• How can I preemptively prevent disruption of service?
• How do I quickly recover from a disaster event?
• How do I restore my high availability environment after a disaster?

Value

MetiLinx provides a three-in-one solution:

• Disaster Recovery
• High Availability
• High Performance

MetiLinx products focus on leveraging the existing infrastructure to create a highly available environment. Through the installation of software, MetiLinx creates a disaster tolerant, self healing, autonomous environment. There's no need to replace existing hardware (ex. HA equipment) or software (ex. Clustering). Other benefits include:

• Easy integration- through the use of standard protocols and virtualization
• Ability to scale without affecting disaster tolerant architecture
• Synchronous and asynchronous short/long distance fail over and recovery
• Synchronous and asynchronous transactional/non-transactional applications
• Solutions for both unplanned and planned down-time

MetiLinx iSuite

• Optimize delivers the ability to analyze the interdependencies of resources, then redirect processes, connections and transactions to the optimal server within the shortest period of time
• Connect is a tightly integrated management interface that provides the ability to integrate information and data via web services, SNMP, XML, and database transactions to other system management interfaces

MetiLinx dSuite

• Failsafe provides a software replication framework that offers a non-invasive, platform-independent solution that maintains on-line replication and synchronization of data across WAN frameworks.
• Connect extends the ability to provide real-time replication and synchronization of data across local and wide area networks by integrating many of the leading backup and recovery management consoles on the market today.
