- Can be installed on heterogeneous server environments. LifeKeeper can operate on your existing hardware installation and with the current versions of your application, no special version or cluster aware version of your application is necessary.
- Multiple fault detection methods and the industry's broadest range of tested and certified packaged application recovery kits for databases, applications, and network interfaces, including SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Exchange, and IIS.
- Integration with enterprise management applications providing a unique monitoring capability that alerts system administrators so that proactive actions can be taken before failure occurs.
- Thirty-two node failover clustering. It is easy to see the lower total cost of ownership -less equipment, less room required, less power, and fewer administrators needed.
Multi-Directional Recovery
Extreme Ease of Use
LifeKeeper includes a Java-based GUI that enables easy installation, operation and maintenance of clustered systems, applications and recovery policies. IT administrators can easily manage cluster-wide resources either locally or remotely via any Java-enabled Web browser.

Since there are no shared SCSI cables limiting distance, this opens up the possibility of using LifeKeeper for disaster recovery.
