Flexible, Policy-Driven Clustering. Leverage industry-leading open source technologies like Pacemaker and Corosync. This allows you to tailor a cluster to your specific application needs and hardware, enabling continuous monitoring and automated failover based on highly configurable rules and policies.
Unified Management and Monitoring. Easily install, configure, manage, and monitor your clustered environment using a powerful unified command-line interface, CRMSH(Cluster Resource Management SHell), and the web-based graphical interface, HAWK (High Availability Web Konsole). This saves time and simplifies complex operations.
Complete Data Protection and Replication. Protect your data with continuous replication across clustered servers using DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device). This mirrors data between nodes to make it highly available, minimizing data loss and enabling fast service restoration.
Extensive Resource Agent Support. Ensure rapid protection and recovery for all your critical services. SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availabuility Extension includes resource agents for MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Apache, and many others at no extra charge, streamlining deployment and validation for common enterprise applications.
Clustered File Systems
SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availabuility Extension includes OCFS2 and GFS2 as robust, open-source clustered file systems for Linux. They allow multiple servers to concurrently access and share the same storage safely and efficiently, ensuring high availability and performance for critical applications like databases and virtualization.
The High Availability
Policy-Driven Failover. Uses Pacemaker and Corosync for flexible, rules-based failover. Continuously monitors resources and automatically restarts or migrates services.
Simplified Management. The powerful unified command line (CRMSH) and the user-friendly HAWK web interface make it easy to install, configure, and monitor complex Linux clusters.
Continuous Data Mirroring. Leverages DRBD for continuous data replication and mirroring between nodes. Ensures fast service restoration and minimizes data loss due to corruption or failure.
Broad Agent Support. Includes resource agents for MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Apache, and many others. This streamlines deployment and validation for rapid service protection and recovery.
