Overview

HP Serviceguard is specialized software for protecting mission-critical applications from a wide variety of hardware and software failures. With Serviceguard, multiple servers (nodes) and/or server partitions are organized into an enterprise cluster that delivers highly available application services to LAN-attached clients. HP Serviceguard monitors the health of each node and rapidly responds to failures in a way that minimizes or eliminates application downtime.

Key Features

  • Rapid automatic detection and recovery time
  • Ability to survive multiple node failures
  • Fast failback
  • Rolling upgrades
  • Integration with the HP Virtual Server Environment
  • Multiple cluster configurations—active-active, active-standby, and rotating standby
  • Mixed Serviceguard cluster support of HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers
  • Support for multiple operating systems (HP-UX and Linux)

Benefits

  • Prevents failed nodes from jeopardizing the integrity of application data
  • Increases application availability and reduces operator error
  • Provides superior protection
  • Shortens startup time for applications in the primary active node
  • Maintains application availability during hardware and software updates
  • Ensures that service-level objectives (SLOs) are maintained during planned and unplanned downtime
  • Enables quick and easy deployment of applications, including database toolkits (such as Oracle10g) and Internet toolkits (such as HP Apache and HP CIFS/9000)
  • Supports heterogeneous, mission-critical environments
