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.

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 ...
