How it works

HP Serviceguard keeps critical services continually up and running.

It does that by moving services between servers on the fly, so quickly and so transparently that users may not even realize it happened. Serviceguard can move applications automatically, such as in response to a failure, or at your command, such as when your Network Administrator needs to bring a server down in order to install a new LAN adapter.
