Susan Breidenbach, editor in chief at LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. Times explains, "Off-SiteServer provides Netware installations with a unique way to distribute server tolerance across the wide area, using anything from analog dial-up lines for near-real-time backup to T3 links for actual server mirroring. "By enabling centralized backup of multiple remote sites and protecting users from disasters at a particular location, Off-SiteServer makes the PC-LAN PC-LAN Personal Computer Local Area Network environment a more robust platform for business-critical applications." Off-SiteServer V.35 is the premier product for real-time mirroring of data to a file server at a remote site. It provides a cost effective solution for the client/server arena while yielding true wide area fault tolerance. According to Greg Koss, director of Technical Operations at foreign exchange traders Sonnet Systems Inc., "After looking at replication servers we decided that we needed everything on our server, not just the database, in the event of a disaster. As a result we chose Off-SiteServer V.35 as it will provide a hot standby server at our disaster recovery location. Because of this the longest we will be down is travel time to the remote location." Using standard disk mirroring under Novell Netware, Off-SiteServer V.35 mirrors all files to a remote site, down to the transaction via routable protocols or standard telecommunications channels. Once this mirror is implemented, the remote server is essentially a duplicate of the host NetWare server. This is implemented by integrating Vinca Vin·ca n. A genus of evergreens usually found in the Eastern hemisphere. Vinca plant genus of Apocynaceae family; contains cardiac glycoside; causes diarrhea; includes V. major (blue periwinkle), V. StandbyServer 32 software into the system. As a result, all files including open, closed, bindery A NetWare file used for security and accounting in the early NetWare 2.x and 3.x versions. The bindery pertained only to the server it resided in and contained the names and passwords of users authorized to log in to that server. , etc., are mirrored across high speed communication links. In the event of a main server failure, the remote server can be started as a NetWare server with up-to-date file information on disk in a matter of moments. "Our congratulations go to MiraLink for this prestigious award," said Art Dearing, manager of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and sales at Vinca Corp. "Off-SiteServer is a premier remote mirroring solution coupling Vinca's StandbyServer 32 technology with MiraLink's innovative buffering and WAN connections. Off-SiteServer is a very good disaster recovery product for high end customers with specialized needs." Integral to Off-SiteServer is the SmartAck(TM) (smart acknowledge) system, in combination with our non-volatile buffer provides the key to insuring that there is no detectable network performance degredation during periods of heavy activity. The SmartAck system will also allow the selected communications channel to operate in the background, non-obtrusive to the host server. Working in accord with our SmartAck system, MiraLink has an NLM Software that runs in a NetWare server. Although NetWare servers store DOS and Windows applications, they do not execute them. All programs that run in a NetWare server must be compiled into the NLM format. They are typically written in C and use Novell's libraries. that inhibits disk reads over the wide area network. This NLM, developed jointly with Novell, reduces traffic and helps improve performance over the high-speed communications link. The V.35 interface of the Off-SiteServer units provide a myriad of options with regards to a preferred communications channel. Through an external CSU/DSU See DSU/CSU. CSU/DSU - channel service unit/digital service unit or compatible bridge these units can interface to: ATM, T1/E1, fractional T1/E1, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. , frame relay, ethernet, FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) Often pronounced "fiddy," it was a LAN and MAN access method that had its heyday in the mid-1990s. FDDI was an ANSI standard token passing network that transmitted 100 Mbps over optical fiber up to 10 kilometers. , token ring, etc. Twisted pair connections up to 5,000 feet can also be supported. Off-SiteServer V.35 will begin shipping immediately at a suggested retail price of $24,995 per pair. The standard Off-SiteServer V.35 configuration consists of a pair of rack-mountable devices, interface cables, Vinca StandbyServer 32 mirroring software and link cards. Reseller, VAR (value-added reseller) and volume discounts are available.
