Also New is SIOS Protection Suite for Windows Version 8.8.0 with Improved HA for Critical Windows Applications in the Cloud

SIOS Technology Corp., an industry leader in application high availability and disaster recovery, announced the GA release of SIOS Protection Suite for Linux version 9.5.2 clustering software, featuring enhanced automation and application failover orchestration that makes creating and managing high availability (HA) clusters in complex SAP S/4HANA environments easier and more reliable for enterprises. SIOS also recently released SIOS Protection Suite for Windows version 8.8.0 clustering software featuring innovations designed to make HA clustering in the cloud faster and easier.

For many IT managers, creating a failover cluster to protect critical applications is a complex, time consuming process, often with unreliable results. SIOS Protection Suite clustering solutions deliver high availability and disaster recovery protection while eliminating this complexity and uncertainty by automating manual tasks and providing application-specific failover orchestration.

“The latest releases are focused on making clustering in public clouds – Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) – faster and easier,” said Masahiro Arai, COO, SIOS Technology, Corp. “These new features give enterprises additional confidence that the high availability they have always trusted from SIOS can be achieved in the public clouds.
