This key development allows SIOS to extend its easy-to-use, high-availability clustering solutions for critical applications within Nutanix AHV environments.

This partnership follows the awarded Nutanix Ready validation designation issued to SIOS, providing evidence of SIOS' LifeKeeper and DataKeeper's successful interoperability with Nutanix infrastructure. Further emphasising the commitment of Nutanix and SIOS to joint innovation, this move aims to generate tangible benefits for joint customers.

The company’s LifeKeeper and DataKeeper products have undergone verification testing, yielding a compatible solution for customers. Specifically, SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux equips Nutanix with the tools required to provide customers with a simple and reliable high availability for business-critical applications. This assurance is bolstered by SIOS' deep HA expertise. Nutanix customers operating complex environments such as SAP, HANA, SQL Server, amongst others in SUSE Linux, Red Hat Linux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, and Windows Server, can utilise SIOS products to save time and mitigate expensive downtime by creating, maintaining, and managing stable, reliable HA environments.
