As IT becomes more integral to business outcomes, could you benefit from extending the availability of your mission-critical workloads?

Prevent revenue loss by maintaining continuous service availability with HP Serviceguard’s failover capabilities, while also protecting the integrity and performance of your workloads. Serviceguard packages critical services, such as your applications or your databases, with their associated resources and monitors these packages for potential faults related to hardware, software, operating system, virtualization layer, network, or storage. When a failure is detected, Serviceguard gracefully shuts down the application, restarts it on an available server, connects it to the appropriate storage device, and resumes normal operations—all in mere seconds.
