IRIS FailSafe is the next generation High Availability solution for your mission critical services. Using the ccNUMA-based SGI Origin® family of servers, IRIS FailSafe enables applications and services to be highly available, at a fraction of the cost of specialized fault-tolerant systems. In an environment clustered for high-availability, IRIS FailSafe automatically fails over applications from one system in the cluster to another, in case of failure. In combination with a RAID or mirrored disk configuration, an IRIS FailSafe cluster provides resilience from any single point of failure and acts as insurance against unplanned outages. It also provides facility to minimize downtime due to planned outages by selectively isolating systems for routine maintenance. Applications do not need to be modified in order to realize the high level of availability provided by IRIS FailSafe. The solution is scalable to include multiple systems in the cluster, thus bringing the power of distributed computing, enhanced throughput, as well as high service availability together.
