High Availability

In today's "always on" business world, we expect continuous access to our data. We deliver through high availability, which eliminates all single points of failure (SPoF) that could potentially prevent access to critical business information.

Implementing a Highly Available architecture means that you have the need for continuous access to your data. HA is provided through a redundant set of components that can maintain a consistent connection between the client application and the physical location of the data being accessed, regardless of any single component failure.

Helixstorm uses a different approach over "traditional" hardware-based storage arrays. We use software deployed on industry standard (x86) servers (Dell and HP) to create fully redundant, highly available architecture with unparalleled performance. Our "shared nothing" design ensures higher availability than traditional controllers with a shared backplane.

Benefits of High Availability

Helixstorm HA expertise can help you:

• Deploy a fully redundant storage infrastructure eliminating single points of failure
• Provide Service Level Agreements (SLA) to your customers and corporate users
• Design a "real time" synchronous mirror environment with transparent failover for each business critical application
• Deliver a cost-effective, reliable, high performance centralized storage array customized to meet your needs

Connectivity Options

Our storage solution can be implemented with one or more of the connectivity technologies:

• iSCSI
• Fiber Channel (including 8Gb)
• Fiber Channel over Etherent (FCoE)
• 10GbE

Access to data is critical. Most documents today are electronic and time sensitive, therefore not having access to your data because of a failure due to component failure or major disaster, could mean loss of revenue, a competitive disadvanatge, or both.
