LifeKeeper for Linux ensures that Linux applications are always available without the prohibitive costs of a Fault Tolerant solution. When LifeKeeper detects an event that can create an interruption in a server's availability, or the availability of the application, it automatically moves the protected resources and applications to another server in the cluster. And because this switchover is transparent to clients, a system failure does not impact users' productivity. LifeKeeper offers the flexibility to failover a server, perform maintenance and upgrades, then switch clients back after the work is done, all the while providing continuous uptime for users.
