In this session SIOS will cover a new SugarCRM offering for High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR), leveraging the benefits of cloud computing. Take advance of cloud as your real-time failover instead of investing in expensive on-premise HA or DR server clusters. In this session you will learn about:
* Cloud Security
* High Availability via the Cloud
* Disaster Recovery via the Cloud
* Public Cloud use-cases
* Deploying SugarCRM HA/DR
* Application Monitoring & Real-time data replication
If you have mission-critical applications and associated business data, can you afford not to have a clear business continuity plan? And if you have a plan, can you afford not to consider the benefits of cloud computing such as: opex vs. capex, flexibility, time-to-market, and efficiency of resources?

OK. So lets talk about that disruptive technology I eluded to earlier. But first I want to ask the following multiple-choice question: “ How Does Your Organization Define ‘Downtime’”?
So since we are talking about availability, I thought it would be important to define exactly what I mean. Below is what has been termed the “Availability Equation”.

That’s why SIOS has been successful in protecting over 15,000 mission-critical applications around the world with its award-winning business continuity solutions, AND WHY Sugar chose us to ENABLE “HA For SugarCRM” Now you can achieve 5 nines of availability with installations of SugarCRM Pro and other Enterprise applications when they are deployed in-house AND as you transition them into the cloud. Protect your business with: Application & Database Monitoring Automated Failover Real-time Data Replication with Recovery Point Rewind (if you have a database corruption, replicating it won’t help you). Automated Cloud HA/DR Deployment & Management (with an integrated SugarCRM offering) Automated Workload Migration (to reduce manual errors)
OK…now I’m going to ask my team to demonstrate a live use-case. Represented in this animation…is a scenario where we have temporarily brought our production SugarCRM application and database server off-line for upgrade testing, and we have migrated the workload to the Cloud. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780187(WS.10).aspx
Before doing so; however, we used HA For SugarCRM to create two identical HA/DR mirrors in two different geographical regions. The enterprise’s end-users are currently accessing Sugar over a secure VPN network, with Sugar operating in the US Cloud.
Then we force the US Cloud to be unavailable…any one of those downtime scenarios A-D I referenced earlier. And with HA For SugarCRM, we automatically detect that event, and dynamically switch end-users to the EU Cloud mirror. ****This slide remains on the screen during the demo (on one side of the stage, while the demo occurs on the other**** Demo points below: Scott, our EVP of Sales for Business Continuity is entering in his contact information into his Sugar account. Lecole behind the scenes is going to initiate a disruption in US Cloud service, which the HA For SugarCRM automatically detects, and immediately initiates a graceful failover into the EU Cloud. What you are seeing now is HA For SugarCRM checking to make sure all is in order with the storage volume, the file system, the SugarCRM application and associated database, and finally its dynamically changing the IP so that Sugar users don’t even have to be aware of where the new Sugar workload lives. Now we refresh Sugar and…..whalah!!! Scott’s critical information is there!!! This is when you are supposed to clap!!! Thank You!
