InfoScale

Mission-critical application availability: multi-platform clusters, software-defined storage and failover in seconds — for apps that can't stop, on any OS.

01 · What it is

InfoScale, made clear.

Some applications can't stop and don't (only) live on modern platforms: UNIX ERPs, giant databases, critical legacy stacks. InfoScale brings application clustering, replication and software-defined storage to Linux, AIX, Solaris and Windows: automatic failover in seconds, mobility across sites and clouds, and the same operational playbook everywhere.

Replica & stretchacross sites, towards the cloud
The application that never stops — wherever it lives

Smart agents

Oracle, SAP, SQL and custom: the cluster understands the app, it doesn't just ping.

SDS storage

Enterprise volume manager and filesystem: mirroring and migrations without downtime.

Stretch clusters

Two sites, one cluster: automatic geographic failover.

In the cloud too

The same technologies on AWS/Azure: critical legacy migrates without losing HA.

03 · In depth

VCS, VxVM, VxFS: the building blocks of availability

Cluster Server (VCS) monitors applications with dedicated agents and orchestrates failover with robust quorum (I/O fencing: split-brain doesn't corrupt); Volume Manager (VxVM) mirrors even across different storage and migrates online; the VxFS filesystem handles huge volumes with journaling and hot resize; Volume Replicator replicates towards DR; all identical across four OSes: one operating model for the whole estate — mainframe excluded, everything else included.

  • I/O fencing — split-brain neutralized: data doesn't corrupt
  • Per-app agents — failover that understands Oracle, SAP, queues and services
  • Cross-array mirroring — storage redundancy even across vendors
  • Hot resize — volumes and filesystems growing without downtime
  • Integrated replication — DR without depending on the underlying storage
  • One playbook — same operations on Linux, AIX, Solaris, Windows

05 · Use cases

Where it really pays off.

ERP on UNIX

The AIX/Solaris ERP in real HA.

Giant DBs

Failover and online storage: zero downtime.

Legacy to cloud

Migration without losing resilience.

That system “nobody can touch” can have modern HA: we'll show you how.
