SIOS Technology announced Azure Certified SIOS Datakeeper Cluster Edition is available in the Azure Marketplace and Azure Stack Marketplace.
With this announcement, SIOS offers further integrations with Microsoft Azure delivering a high availability (HA) solution for critical applications running in Azure — and now Azure Stack environments, for a seamless hybrid computing experience. Easy to install Quickstart images are available and will soon be delivered in both the Azure and Azure Stack marketplaces.
SIOS enables enterprises, MSPs and OEMs to create a SANless high availability cluster in Azure and Azure Stack using Microsoft Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC). Integrating SIOS DataKeeper software with WSFC enables customers to quickly and easily protect business-critical Windows environments from downtime and data loss.
“Our twenty years of expertise in the design and implementation of SQL Server high availability solutions has helped many businesses concerned about downtime and meeting SLAs get their most important apps into Azure and protect them from cloud outages,” said Michael Bilancieri, VP, Product, SIOS Technology. “Additionally, we can help Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 customers easily migrate to Azure and Azure Stack and take advantage of free extended security updates for SQL Server 2008 with the assurance of high availability and disaster recovery protection for their critical applications.”
Talal Alqinawi, Sr. Director, Azure Product Marketing at Microsoft Corp. said, “The IT landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift as companies are moving from large central datacenters to cloud and hybrid cloud environments. We designed Azure from the ground up to be hybrid, and with offerings like Azure Stack that let companies build and run Azure services from their own data center, we are committed to delivering an optimal cloud experience. We’re pleased SIOS selected Azure to deliver this HA solution in Azure and Azure Stack environments.”

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
