Solution snapshot

  • Stop data loss with real-time data replication using patented byte-level technology.

  • Trigger automated server failover to keep systems online with minimal delay.

  • Support mixed environments across hypervisors, legacy apps, and clouds.

  • Encrypt all data in transit to maintain strict security during replication.

  • Validate recovery readiness through non-disruptive testing.

Why OpenText Availability matters for business operations

In cybersecurity, high availability means ensuring critical data and systems are accessible when needed. But system downtime 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.

Operational benefits of high availability software

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.

  • Achieve real-time data replication and instant server failover to keep critical systems online and eliminate costly operational pauses.

  • Keep both legacy and modern applications running seamlessly without expensive or time-consuming infrastructure upgrades.

  • Ensure constant system availability to effortlessly meet your internal business goals and regulatory requirements.

  • Streamline and automate your high availability operations across mixed environments, reducing manual overhead and human error.

  • Enable smooth, safe cloud migrations and business process improvements with zero impact on your day-to-day operations.

Advanced features for continuous data protection

OpenText Availability provides your IT team with the advanced capabilities needed to protect replication traffic, optimize network pathways, and manage seamless cutovers.

  • Continuous replication means your recovery point is always only moments behind your production environment.

  • Monitors server heartbeats to trigger automated failovers during unexpected outages.

  • Updates DNS records automatically to route users to the target server after failover.

  • Validates disaster recovery readiness through simplified, completely offline dry runs.

  • Minimizes network impact by limiting replication bandwidth during peak hours and compressing replication traffic across three custom tiers.

  • Encrypts data in flight between source and target to ensure secure replication.

How automated failover and high availability work

Using patented asynchronous byte-level technology, OpenText Availability continuously replicates data to a secondary.

If an outage occurs, automated failover triggers instantly to keep services online.

Why businesses choose OpenText for high availability

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

FAQ

Cybersecurity is complex, and you might still have questions. We've answered some common ones below, but if you're still curious about something, contact our team to discuss your specific situation.

It means ensuring that systems, applications, and data are accessible when needed. OpenText Availability helps maintain that standard through continuous data replication and failover support.

It works with Windows Server and nearly all major Linux distributions and supports any hypervisor and leading cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).

Yes. It offers a more comprehensive, automated solution, especially in hybrid or mixed environments.

Failover to the secondary server can occur in seconds to minutes, depending on system size and configuration.

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit between source and target servers.

Yes. Non-disruptive testing is built into the platform, so you can validate recovery without taking systems offline.

Yes. OpenText Availability helps future-proof older systems by keeping them online without requiring risky upgrades.

Yes. Availability, along with confidentiality and integrity, is one of the three core pillars of information security. This solution helps you achieve better data security without the complexity of managing multiple recovery and failover systems.
