Application Roll-over Facility (ARF)

Bull’s high availability solution for Escala servers: easy-to-use and easy to maintain, guaranteeing service through redundancy.

Application Roll-over Facility (ARF), Bull’s clustering solution, permits customers to interconnect an unlimited number of servers in a highly available cluster.
ARF, appreciated for its ease of use, provides:

• A scalable solution
• Easy node installation and configuration
• Non-stop monitoring
• Easy-to-use flexibility
• Reduced costs
• Professional services

ARF also permits system administrators to easily move an application and its environment from a system to another system, in order to manage system workload issues, for maintenance purposes or in the event of hardware failures, thus facilitating maintenance tasks and reducing planned down time. ARF provides low cost and easy to install application availability for the entire Escala range (running AIX 5.1 or higher).
