With DataKeeper V7.6, SIOS Enhances SANLess Clustering for Cloud

SIOS Technology Corporation, provider of BC and DR solutions, announces version 7.6 of the DataKeeper software suite to enhance SANLess Clustering for physical, virtual and cloud environments.

The release features Target Snapshots, enabling administrators and business analysts to run critical applications, such as SQL Server, and gain access to the information needed most without impacting the performance or availability of their systems. The new feature makes it possible to run reports, maintenance, and other workloads on the secondary (target) node in the cluster, easing strain on primary nodes and mitigating performance impact. As a result, users can experience better performance, faster queries and better utilization of resources in any environment.

Geoff Hiten, architect and MVP at Intellinet Corporation, expands on the value of the new DataKeeper Cluster Edition saying: "With the new Target Snapshots feature, DataKeeper Cluster Edition continues to deliver on performance while offering enterprise functionality without the enterprise price tag."

DataKeeper, a component of SANLess clustering, provides performance, block-level data replication without requiring shared storage. This reduces administrative costs and increases efficiency for all environments through its Cluster and Coud editions.

DataKeeper Cluster Edition is optimized for high-performance flash/SSD environments, designed to provide protection without sacrificing performance.

DataKeeper Cloud Edition is a product enabling native SQL clustering in the Amazon Cloud.
