Overview

Software-defined high availability & disaster recovery

Eviden SafeKit is a software-only high availability and disaster recovery platform that protects any application on Windows or Linux: on-premises, virtual, or cloud: using real-time synchronous replication and automatic failover. No shared storage, no proprietary hardware, no complex cluster configuration. SafeKit wraps around any application in minutes and makes it resilient to server failure, without changing the application itself. It is available as pre-configured modules for databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL), virtual machines (Hyper-V, KVM), containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and physical security applications (Milestone, Hanwha SSM, Siemens SiPass, Bosch AMS): making it the embedded HA choice for software publishers and OEMs.

Key features

What sets SafeKit apart

Real-time synchronous replication

Data is mirrored to a standby server in real time: no data loss on failure.

Automatic failover

On primary server failure, the standby takes over automatically: users experience seconds of interruption, not hours.

Application-agnostic

Wraps around any application: no source code changes, no agent in the application, no proprietary dependencies.

Pre-configured application modules

Ready-to-deploy HA modules for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, Hyper-V, KVM, Docker, Kubernetes, Milestone XProtect, Hanwha SSM, Siemens SiPass, Bosch AMS, Nedap AEOS.

OEM and software publisher model

SafeKit is designed to be embedded inside third-party applications: software publishers deliver HA as a feature of their product.

Single-site and multi-site

Mirror cluster for same-site HA or farm cluster for load balancing and geographic redundancy.

Benefits

Continuous availability without complexity

Eliminate unplanned downtime

Automatic failover means application failure becomes a seconds-long event, not a hours-long outage.

Protect any application: without modification

SafeKit wraps around existing applications: no recoding, no redesign, no proprietary dependencies.

No shared storage required

Synchronous replication replaces the need for expensive SAN or shared disk: dramatically reducing infrastructure cost.

Fast deployment

A basic mirror cluster can be running in hours: not weeks. Pre-configured modules for common applications reduce setup to minutes.

Embedded HA for software publishers

OEMs and ISVs embed SafeKit to deliver HA as a built-in feature of their product: one installer, one support contract.

Why Eviden

Why choose SafeKit

Application-agnostic architecture

SafeKit works with any application that writes to disk: not just databases or specific platforms. No other HA product offers this level of universality.

Proven in critical environments
