Tzolkin Raises the Bar for High Availability.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PEPPERELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2004 Tzolkin Corporation today announces the availability of the revolutionary TZO-MON(TM), monitoring feature set. TZO-MON(TM) is a complementary component to the soon to be available TZO-HA product suite, www.autofailover.com. "The introduction of TZO-MON(TM) brings our AutoFailover capabilities to a completely new level of high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. for Internet bound Web Servers," says Christopher Cook Christopher Cook (born 5th May 1979, South Shields, Tyne and Wear, England) is a British swimmer.[1] His specialism is breaststroke, and took gold in the 50[2] and 100[3] , director of sales and marketing for Tzolkin Corporation. AutoFailover provides high availability for customers that need fault tolerance See fault tolerant. (architecture) fault tolerance - 1. The ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults. This often involves some degree of redundancy. 2. with their Internet facing web or mail servers. AutoFailover enables immediate DNS (Domain Name System) A system for converting host names and domain names into IP addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. For example, when a Web site address is given to the DNS either by typing a URL in a browser or behind the record and/or MX record modification to dynamically point the Internet to the appropriate backup server/s of the customer in the event of a primary circuit or server failure.

To support these services, Tzolkin maintains a fully meshed, nation wide network infrastructure, TZO-NET(TM). Made up of 5, fully redundant individual locations all at A1 rated co-location facilities, TZO-NET(TM) allows for the deployment of the new TZO-MON(TM) capabilities, which are made up of 2 specific feature sets. 1) MPM MPM Multi-Processing Module (Apache) MPM Manufacturing Process Management MPM Milwaukee Public Museum MPM MMW (Millimeter Wave) Power Module MPM Master of Project Management (degree) , Multi Point Monitoring. TZO-MPM(TM) allows for the definition of 1, 2, 3 or more monitoring locations all testing the availability of a defined server. Multiple monitoring points are crucial for environments that demand high availability. Only with TZO-MPM can false positive server down messages be correctly identified. With TZO-MPM server down messages need to be reported to be spoken of; to be mentioned, whether favorably or unfavorably. See also: Report from all participating monitoring locations, in order for the Autofailover action to initiate. 2) PMA PMA (papillary-marginal-attached), n a system of epidemiologic scoring of periodontal disease devised by Schour and Massler in which the symbols denote the areas involved in gingival inflammation. PMA Progressive muscular atrophy , Persistent Monitoring Agent, TZO-PMA(TM) actually enables the regeneration of any individual monitoring point. With these new capabilities, if any type of monitor agent failure occurs or if any problem at a particular monitoring location is encountered, PMA will automatically regenerate each of individually effected TZO-MON monitoring agents at a pre-defined alternate TZO-NET location. With this level of resilient infrastructure, Tzolkin's TZO-MON raises the bar for high availability in the world of AutoFailover and dynamic DNS management. About AutoFailover AutoFailover offers a low cost solution to high availability. By deploying autofailover or load balancing services, AutoFailover customers can exceed 5-9's availability for their Internet bound web and mail servers. AutoFailover has real-time awareness of server availability. If a primary server/s becomes unavailable, AutoFailover detects it and re-writes one or many DNS and or MX records to enable secondary sever/s and then propagates that change through the entire DNS infrastructure with unprecedented speed.
