What is SafeKit?

Evidian SafeKit is a powerful software solution designed to ensure high availability of essential applications on both Windows and Linux platforms. This all-encompassing tool integrates multiple functionalities such as load balancing, real-time synchronous file replication, and automatic failover for applications, along with seamless failback following server disruptions, all within a single product. By doing this, it eliminates the need for extra hardware like network load balancers or shared disks, thus reducing the necessity for expensive enterprise versions of operating systems and databases. SafeKit’s advanced software clustering enables users to create mirror clusters for real-time data replication and failover, as well as farm clusters that support both load balancing and application failover. Additionally, it accommodates sophisticated setups like farm plus mirror clusters and active-active clusters, which significantly enhance both flexibility and performance. The innovative shared-nothing architecture notably simplifies deployment, making it highly suitable for remote sites by avoiding the complications usually linked with shared disk clusters. Overall, SafeKit stands out as an effective and efficient solution for upholding application availability and ensuring data integrity in a variety of operational environments. Its versatility and reliability make it a preferred choice for organizations seeking to optimize their IT infrastructure.

What is DRBD?

DRBD® (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is an open-source solution focused on block storage replication for Linux, designed to deliver high-performance and high-availability (HA) data services by either synchronously or asynchronously mirroring local block devices between nodes in real-time. As a virtual block-device driver that is intricately woven into the Linux kernel, DRBD ensures optimal local read performance while enabling efficient write-through replication to partner devices. The accompanying user-space tools, such as drbdadm, drbdsetup, and drbdmeta, enhance the management experience through declarative configuration, metadata handling, and comprehensive administration across various installations. Originally created for two-node HA clusters, the latest iteration, DRBD 9.x, has adapted to support multi-node replication and integrate smoothly into software-defined storage (SDS) systems like LINSTOR, broadening its utility in cloud-native environments. This progression underscores the increasing necessity for resilient data management solutions in today's complex technological landscape, highlighting the importance of adaptability in meeting evolving demands.
