SIOS Technology announced the immediate release of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux version 9.9.0.
This latest version introduces advanced DR features, including synchronous and asynchronous data mirroring, intelligent failover mechanisms, enhanced security management, expanded language support, and additional Linux operating system compatibility.
“Our latest release offers the flexibility to tailor HA replication strategies to meet specific needs while automating failover and ensuring reliable restoration processes,” said Masahiro Arai, COO of SIOS Technology. “By eliminating complex manual steps, we ensure faster recovery times and maintain data consistency across all environments, saving both time and reducing the potential for human error.”
Key Features of SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux 9.9.0, include:
■ Advanced Disaster Recovery Protection:
- Fully automated failover to DR nodes across different AWS regions or availability zones via WAN.
- Flexibility to create both synchronous and asynchronous replication for geographically separated DR sites.
- Automatic failover with no need for time-consuming data resynchronization.
- Subscription add-on available to optimize DR performance and data integrity based on application-specific needs. Supported OS for this add-on are: RHEL 8.9/8.10, RHEL 9.3/9.4, SLES 15SP4/15SP5.
■ Intelligent Failover for Added Reliability:
- In a three-node cluster, SIOS automatically checks the status of secondary and tertiary nodes, ensuring a seamless failover to the tertiary node, if necessary.
- Fast and efficient failover processes that guarantee system integrity.
- Added redundancy protection with multiple paths and resources to eliminate single points of failure.
■ Updated Security Management:
- Enhanced security, maintainability, and access control.
- IT administrators can now grant elevated permissions to users without compromising security by using personalized access credentials. This provides better traceability on SAP/HANA-related operations so they can review the activities from a security perspective.
■ Expanded Language Support:
- The SIOS LifeKeeper Web Management Console now supports German and Korean, in addition to Japanese and English.
- Single Server Protection can now be managed through the updated Web Management Console.
■ Additional Linux Operating System Support:
- Support for Alma Linux and Amazon Linux 2023.
SIOS LifeKeeper for Linux version 9.9.0 is now available.

For years, infrastructure teams have treated compute as a relatively stable input. Capacity was provisioned, costs were forecasted, and performance expectations were set based on the assumption that identical resources behaved identically. That mental model is starting to break down. AI infrastructure is no longer behaving like static cloud capacity. It is increasingly behaving like a market ...

Agentic AI is a major buzzword for 2026. Many tech companies are making bold promises about this technology, but many aren't grounded in reality, at least not yet.

AI systems are still prone to hallucinations and misjudgments ... To build the trust needed for adoption, AI must be paired with human-in-the-loop (HITL) oversight, or checkpoints where humans verify, guide, and decide what actions are taken. The balance between autonomy and accountability is what will allow AI to deliver on its promise without sacrificing human trust ...

Enterprise IT has become increasingly complex and fragmented. Organizations are juggling dozens — sometimes hundreds — of different tools for endpoint management, security, app delivery, and employee experience. Each one needs its own license, its own maintenance, and its own integration. The result is a patchwork of overlapping tools, data stuck in silos, security vulnerabilities, and IT teams are spending more time managing software than actually getting work done ...
