High-Availability Operations

Solution Highlights

With TBD Networks High-availability solutions, setting up redundant processes between networks is greatly simplified. The results are:

• Greatly reduced down-time
• A Combination of multiple inexpensive links
• Automated fail-over
• Protection against link failure
• Protection against device failure

Benefits

• Greatly reduced application down-time: With high-availability, network applications remain on-line even if a single link goes down.

• Automated fail-over: Fail-over, when a failing devise causes a secondary device to fail, is established on a protocol level with no human intervention.

• Faster service roll-out: The roll-out of complex configurations such as high-availability is frequently delayed. By using software based roll-out the benefit is captured instantaneously.

• Efficient management: The main goal of management is to maintain control, speed, and eliminate errors. With TBD products and solutions, efficiently managing a network is possible with existing teams and resources.

Key Functions

• High-level policy interface: Design and provisioning of high-availability networks occurs through a drag-and-drop interface, potentially reconfiguring hundreds of devices.

• Change control: Availability is greatly impacted by configuration and pilot errors. Automated change management significantly reduces these problems.

• Roll-back: Individual devices or complete networks can be rolled back to earlier configuration states.

• Multi-device configuration: Configuration changes can be rolled out to groups of devices in a structured way that allows the deployment of identical configurations as well as group or device overrides.
