Neverfail for Lotus Domino

Neverfail’s solution for Lotus Domino provides immediate and non-disruptive failover for true application availability and email reliability.

Communication is a cornerstone of your business’ productivity and profitability. Therefore your primary communication system – email – should always be available. Backup and replication solutions can’t provide the rapid return of your normal email operations in the event of a failure. With Neverfail for Lotus Domino you can ensure continuous email availability and seamless communication – keeping users continuously connected to customers, partners, suppliers and each other.

The heart and soul of Neverfail - Neverfail Heartbeat
The most important consideration in protecting your Lotus Domino environment is creating a real-time, duplicate copy of your email. Neverfail Heartbeat sits at the core of Neverfail's suite of affordable, "cluster-class" solutions, replicating data from your active to your passive server, whether they reside in the same server room, or across the globe.

Neverfail’s high availability solution proactively monitors your entire Lotus Domino server environment
Neverfail for Lotus Domino proactively monitors the health of your physical server hardware, network infrastructure, operating system, and Lotus Domino application. If any problem occurs, Neverfail can take a variety of preemptive, corrective actions to resolve the issue without resorting to a full system failover. In extreme cases where the issue can not be resolved, a graceful switchover to your secondary server can occur automatically, ensuring continuous application availability.

In addition to protecting your Lotus Domino application, Neverfail can also protect auxiliary applications that you may have installed onto your server. These may include supporting applications such as anti-virus, backup, fax and archiving solutions. Our Application Module eXtension (AMX) technology provides an application program interface to easily and rapidly generate these extension products. Neverfail’s existing library of AMX is extensive; they are fully maintained and supported and remove the commercial concern and cost of “one-off” development practices on a critical server.

High availability over a LAN or WAN environment
Neverfail for Lotus Domino can be configured to protect your email in either a LAN or WAN environment. Where bandwidth or network utilization is an issue or needs to be reduced, the Neverfail Low Bandwidth Module (LBM) is available to optimize and reduce the amount of data that is transmitted between the two servers.

You'll only find switchback capabilities in Neverfail Lotus Domino
In addition to offering both manual and automatic switchover capabilities, Neverfail for Lotus Domino also features the ability to seamlessly switchback, something replication solutions can’t offer. Whether your primary server is down for several hours or even days, Neverfail will seamlessly resynchronize your servers when the primary does come back online, and allow you to switch your workload back to a normal production state within a few minutes by the simple click of a button!

Reliability is the first and most crucial step to achieving high availability
The successful implementation and ongoing performance of any cluster-class high availability solution is predicated upon a reliable technology platform. Neverfail’s Server Check Optimization Performance Evaluation (SCOPE) is the only automated software solution to deliver a comprehensive health “check-up” of your server environment. SCOPE identifies existing configuration and performance issues in your environment prior to installation of a high availability solution and it provides “snapshots” of your environment to ensure on-going reliability.

Neverfail Data Rollback Module
Data Rollback Module complements Neverfail’s core technology by providing a simple and swift application restart from earlier points in time, to ensure data restoration and regain data integrity quickly and efficiently after data corruption has occurred. Neverfail Data Rollback Module runs directly on top of Neverfail Heartbeat, and utilizes the Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) technology to provide an efficient application/data restoration and retrieval mechanism.
