Introduction

SavWareHA was developed by Avnet Technology Solutions in response to the need for a cost-effective fault-tolerant system residing on two physically separate machines. SavWareHA provides a redundant data and system security level previously relegated to extremely expensive, proprietary computers and operating system s.

Although SavWareHA has been installed in sites ranging from Vancouver, BC to Johannesburg, SA, it should never be viewed as a substitute for frequent, checksum-verified data backups to removable media, such as those provided by ‘XA ’ from Avnet Technology Solutions. See the discussion of unattended, verified system backups in the “Application Notes” section of this manual ; also, please secure a copy of ‘XA’ if you do not already have one.
