This is a conversation with Edmond Melkomian, Project Manager at SIOS Technology about High Availability and Disaster Recovery options available to enterprise Linux users.

Here are some of the topics we discussed:

Q: If a customer wants high availability for a complex application or database like SAP, SQL Server or Oracle, what are the typical choices?

Q: Why would a customer choose SIOS Protection Suite if their OS already includes clustering software such as SUSE HAE or Red Hat Pacemaker?

Q: You mention SIOS Protection Suite – what does it include and what is an application recovery kit?

Q: What are typical concerns or fears of IT teams when they are creating a failover cluster in a Linux environment?
