What it is

SIOS Protection Suite provides high-availability clustering, continuous data replication, and disaster recovery for critical applications, databases, and ERPs. Its Linux suite builds SAN or SANless clusters on cloud or on-premises physical and virtual servers. Components include SIOS LifeKeeper, SIOS DataKeeper, and Application Recovery Kits, which monitor application health and automate recovery; available kits vary by edition. Configurable policies manage failover, while block-level replication protects data across sites. Supported workloads include Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, NFS, SAP, SAP S/4HANA, SAP HANA, MySQL, MariaDB, IBM MQ, and Apache Web Server. Storage options include direct-attached storage, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel. SIOS identifies AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform environments, with AWS Marketplace availability. A web management console provides cluster controls. Linux support includes AWS IMDSv2 and several SELinux modes. The suite is paid with pricing on request, and trial requests are available for Windows or Linux.
