About Performance Patrol™

As more and more mission-critical applications move on the Internet, providing highly available services has become a requirement for many of our customers. The main advantage of a dedicated server cluster is that it has hardware and software redundancy.

Because the cluster system consists of a number of independent nodes, and each node runs a copy of operating system and application software. High availability can be achieved by detecting node or daemon failures and reconfiguring the system appropriately, so that the workload can be taken over by the remaining nodes in the cluster. This system will actively monitor all servers in your cluster to ensure they are up and responding to requests, if any of them "drop out" then the solution will immediately detect this and failover any requests to the other server(s).

This solution can also scale and grow as requirements dictate and front end or database servers can be plugged into the cluster very easily.

Using a combination of LVS and Heartbeat software running on our twinned Performance Patrol™ dedicated hardware Memset can now offer a load balancing and failover solution for all our customers at very competitive prices.

With the additional monitoring and work involved in the ongoing maintenance of Performance Patrol™, you will need to have our Fully Managed Support level for this option when buying a server. Performance Patrol™ itself costs £49.00/mo per server.
