DataSheet

3Gen Fault Tolerance (FT) is a new component of 3Gen HCI vServer solution that provides continuous availability to applications; prevent downtime and data loss in the event of system failures. Traditional solutions that address this problem through hardware redundancy or clustering are complex and expensive. 3Gen vServer HA solution addresses system failures by automatically restarting virtual machines on alternate systems. 3Gen Fault Tolerance takes high availability to the next level, completely eliminating downtime due to hardware failures with simplicity, at a low cost across all commercial and custom build applications.

3Gen Proprietary Fault Tolerance Technology based on 3Gen Lockstep algorithm

3Gen Fault Tolerance creates a live instance of the primary virtual machine and run in parallel on another physical system. 3Gen Lockstep algorithm enables the two virtual machines execute the exact same set of events at any given time. The two virtual machines constantly heartbeat against each other and if either virtual machine instance loses the heartbeat, the other takes over immediately. The failover is instantaneous with no loss of data or state.

High Usability

3Gen Fault Tolerance has a web based interface can be installed in just 15 minutes with plug-and-play network. IT administrators can finally eliminate stranded storage with 3Gen technology. Preserving investment in staff expertise and capital equipment is easy with 3Gen’s virtualized computing solution; data centers can reduce infrastructure costs and administrative support of physical servers and desktops to just one platform.

High Usability

A loss of a device no longer means a catastrophic data loss because vServer’s centralized computing format that provides consistent standards and security across all applications, desktops and servers as well as facilitates remote office support and application rollout.
