Following the recent highly successful launch of version 2.0 of its integrated
suite of storage, replication and web clustering software, HybridCluster, an
early stage software solution provider to the cloud and hosting industry, today
unveils full details of the ultra-high availability platform within
HybridCluster 2.0.
As
standard functionality of HybridCluster 2.0, the ‘Self-Healing' ultra-high
availability platform has been designed from the ground-up to automatically
recover when data centre hardware, software, networks or even entire regions
fail. It does this using automatic backups and snapshots that are taken every
few minutes and distributed across all the machines, combined with the automatic
migration of websites and applications between all machines.
"Our
self-healing platform enables hosting organisations to launch highly profitable
HA services to their clients at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions,"
said Luke Marsden, HybridCluster's CEO and founder. "We dramatically reduce both
capex and opex: our clustering software utilises low-cost hardware driving capex
down and we fully automate the recovery processes when a server or site goes
down".
HybridCluster
Self-Healing also transforms the normal concept of a backup/recovery regime for
hosting businesses. Rather than taking daily or hourly backups with a separate
backup application and using this as the primary means of recovery from a disk
or server failure, HybridCluster self-healing continuously and automatically
replicates data across machines and fully automates failover/recovery procedures
between machines in a cluster and across clusters.
"Using
HybridCluster self-healing HA clusters helps us recover from failures
automatically and seamlessly rather than relying on a patchwork of monitors,
scripts, and manual procedures." stated HybridCluster customer, David Kirkham,
Managing Director at Beyond Colour, a creative marketing agency based in York in
the UK who have been hosting their own dedicated servers providing solutions for
individuals to enterprise customers across Europe for over
15-years.
HybridCluster
Self-Healing provides fully automated recovery from site, server, network or
disk failures - and measured in seconds and minutes rather than hours and
days.
"Cloud
and web hosting companies live in fear of data centre outages, which frequently
result in damaging their margins and reputation," stated Ben Kepes, technology
evangelist, commentator and HybridCluster investor and advisor. "With
HybridCluster's high-availability platform, hosters can provide ultra-high
availability web applications, databases and email at a fraction of the cost and
time of competitive systems."
HybridCluster 2.0
is available immediately to cloud and web hosting service providers. Cloud and
hosting service providers can visit www.HybridCluster.com to sign up for a
trial. Visitors to HostingCon in Austin, Texas, from June 17 to 19, can see
HybridCluster in action on the exhibit floor at exhibit #723 as well as see
HybridCluster's CEO, Luke Marsden, first up on the Tech Track on the conference
agenda.
