Capability Description
True heterogeneous enterprise level App Availability across: HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, NT/2000, all major Linux OSs

Same configuration

Same control functions

Maximize resources and productivity

Single management console that is the same across all supported OSs and accessible from any machine within the Environment

Access to all systems participating in the availability domain, whether remote or local

Control, administer and manage easily and without restriction

Built into core software for tight integration and ease of use and administration

Software reliability that comes from a mature, tested and well supported Enterprise HA solution

AAM was introduced in it's original implementation more than 7 years ago

It comes from an industry leader in fault tolerant computing, Stratus Computer

Integration with industry leading enterprise level data replication products

Couples applications to major replication products such as EMC SRDF

EMC and Legato Support teams poised and ready to react

Both support staffs local to ensure maximum effort if required by user

Full automation capabilities of replicated site failover of both data and applications

Full control and automation of the fail, continue, recover process

Easy to mange across all OS platforms

Support for Legato NetWorker across all NetWorker supported platforms

Extensive integration with NetWorker

Supports all OS environments supported by NetWorker

Cross platform clustering (combining mixed OS platforms in a single cluster)

Ability to mix and match application servers of different OSs

Required for any enterprise application suite where multiple smaller applications (not necessarily running on like platforms) work together in a process that needs to be maintained: SAP, NetWorker, large home-grown legacy apps

Implements heart beat using industry standard IP over public WANs, LANs and SANs NetWorker provides a centralized Administration GUI that can be accessed from any machine on the network, providing customers the capability of managing backup and recovery from any NetWorker host.
Optimized for low network bandwidth utilization Ability to define nodes in the domain as "secondary" and thus not require to host replicated configuration data
Ease of customization

Ability to add scripts to resource groups

Ability to auto-relocate resource group to optimal node in domain upon failure detection

Ability to customize the level of protection to your need

Single System Interface Readily operates in LAN, SAN, and WAN environments to easily address your multi site needs
Flexible Ability to add or change resource groups quickly for maximum protection and availability
