Why availability matters

In cybersecurity, availability means ensuring data and systems are accessible when needed. But system downtime, whether caused by ransomware, user error, failed upgrades, or natural disasters, is inevitable. And when it strikes critical infrastructure, the impact can be severe: lost revenue, SLA violations, customer churn, and brand damage.

Today’s businesses can’t afford interruptions to their digital operations. The demand for constant uptime is no longer just an IT expectation, it's a business imperative.

OpenText Availability addresses this need by enabling continuous data replication, instant failover, and non-disruptive recovery across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. It’s designed to keep your mission-critical systems running even when the unexpected happens.  

Benefits of OpenText Availability

OpenText Availability is a real-time, asynchronous replication solution that ensures high availability for Windows and Linux systems. It offers automated failover and failback, intelligent monitoring, and push-button recovery for physical, virtual, and cloud-based infrastructure. Whether you’re protecting high-traffic websites, transactional systems, or legacy applications, the solution helps you eliminate downtime, avoid data loss, and meet SLAs, all while simplifying IT administration.

  • Prevent downtime with real-time data replication and instant failover.

  • Keep legacy and modern apps running without costly upgrades.

  • Maintain availability to meet business and regulatory expectations.

  • Automate availability operations across mixed environments.

  • Enable safe migrations and business process improvements with no impact to operations.

How OpenText Availability works

How OpenText Availability works

  • Continuous replication

    OpenText Availability replicates data continuously from a primary server to a secondary target, using patented asynchronous byte-level technology. In the event of an outage, the system automatically triggers a failover, keeping services running with minimal delay.  

  • Automated failback

    Once the issue is resolved, the system can perform an automated failback to the original or replacement server. The software supports mixed environments across any hypervisor or cloud platform, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and VMware.  

  • Easy setup

    Setup is fast, testing is non-disruptive, and management is streamlined, even for legacy systems. That’s what makes it a key component of any cyber resilience strategy.  

What our customers say

"The difference between having OpenText and not having it is at least 50 percent of our time is saved with zero customer impact. I recommend Carbonite for any business continuity plan or disaster recovery need."
