services from planned and unplanned downtime.

Serviceguard for Linux (SGLX) ensures 24x7 application availability by packaging an application or service with its associated resources, and moving that package to other servers as needed. Packages can be moved automatically when Serviceguard detects a failure in a resource, or manually in order to perform system maintenance or upgrades. By monitoring the health of each server (node) within a cluster, Serviceguard for Linux quickly responds to failures such as those that affect processes, memory, LAN media and adapters, disk, operating environments, and more.

Serviceguard for Linux also includes many out-of-the-box features that ensure scalability and allow intricate control over cluster configuration, and optimizes in-house expertise for businesses already running Serviceguard for HP-UX. Application Integration Toolkits are also available, and serve to quickly integrate complex applications into a Serviceguard for Linux cluster. The Application Integration Toolkit portfolio includes the Serviceguard Toolkit for NFS and the Serviceguard Contributed Toolkit Suite which are available at no charge. In addition to high availability within a data center, the Serviceguard for Linux offers a powerful and comprehensive suite of disaster recovery solutions.
