XLink's Turnkey Software for MSSQL Data Replication and Failover to Guarantee Server High Availability

1 January 1970

XLink Technology Inc. (http://www.xlink.com), a leading software developer on continuous data protection solutions, announces today the new release of ClusterReplica MSSQL Edition version 3.0.

ClusterReplica binds two Windows 2000/XP/2003 machines into one cluster system with automatic failover capability that is critical to ensure server 24x7 high availability and disaster recovery. Utilizing the most up-to-date Snapshot technology, ClusterReplica is capable of handling real-time, open-file data replication, including MSSQL database files, Windows registry files and other types of files.

Release Highlights:

1. Supports SQL server Active/Active mode to allow database access on
the Secondary system.

2. Supports DNS Redirection for cross-network server failover.

3. Supports selective ClusterName/ClusterAddress failover.

4. Supports "Replication Only Mode" without failover.

5. Supports additional "Data Overwritten Protection Option" at system
starting time.

6. Supports full automatic failback with optional confirmed failback.

7. Version-points added to the in-house developed Snapshot technology
for the accomplishment of real-time replication and improved
replication accuracy.

8. Built-in "Scheduled Backup Utility" to allow local and remote backup
with Snapshot technology.

9. Database files back-trace capability included to overcome possible
corrupted-files issues and ensure successful failover of MSSQL
servers.

10. A specially designed "Support Log Generator" is included for
individual user environment to extract system configurations for
effective problem solving.

ClusterReplica is resource-efficient. It replicates only the bytes that change and uses absolute minimum network bandwidth and hard drive resources. While the Primary station of the cluster system dedicates all its resources to clients' requests, the Secondary station takes up the jobs of data backup and data version tracking. This combined technology brings point-in-time data backup and restore with less transaction loss.

ClusterReplica is also cost-effective and requires no trained IT professionals to manage. Besides its initial low cost, ClusterReplica runs with automatic configuration of the MSSQL cluster server database file replications, failover can take place without the involvement of a network storage/SAN or any type of independent disk array system.

With over 10 years of success in the PC-UNIX connectivity software market, XLink is an expert in Windows file system, networking protocol and storage internal architecture. The newly evolved market of data protection and disaster recovery for small to midsize businesses has become the target of challenge for the company. During the past years, the company has built a strong client and distribution base consisting of a wide array of large and small enterprises worldwide, including The Boeing Company, Adept Technology, Intel Corp., IBM, Fujitsu Japan, Motorola, Siemens Corp., Lockheed Martin,
National Institutes of Health, Stanford University and many others.
