How to configure high availability and disaster recovery? And user authenticate

We are in the process of rolling out our online help which was created using Robohelp.   In our initial rollout we will provide access to the files via our Client Portal which requires authentication.  We are also planning for our next version where we intend to implement Robohelp server functionality.
Our IT team is looking at options on how to configure for High Availability and Disaster Recovery.  It seems that Robohelp doesn't have any built-in functionality in this area.  In addition we require that our users authenticate.  The options for the server version seem to be more internally focused and we would need to solution the authentication using a third party.
Would anyone be willing to share their approach in these areas?  Would you be willing to participate in a conference call with our IT Professionals?

Hello again
I see my good friend Peter replied to your LInkedIn post where you cross-posted the same question. For those here that have no clue what Peter stated, here it is:
What are you seeking to recover? Your projects? Your outputs? This sounds like a question more appropriate to Disaster Recovery consultants and far wider reaching than RoboHelp. To me it seems like a question your IT people should be asking direct to such consultants who would expect a fee for their advice.
I would agree with Peter's reply.
I'll also go further and ask what exactly is being done in this realm for the application? Help files generally are there to support an application on the server. So whatever you are doing for the applciation should also be able to be used for the WebHelp, FlashHelp or web based AIR Help files, no?
Cheers... Rick

  • How to setup high availability and high precision Local NTP Service in Server2008R2?

    Hi guys,
    We have some servers on VMs, and we hope that the error between 2 server's clock MUST be smaller than 1 sec.
    For some reason, these servers can't access the internet. So, we suggest that we should setup some local NTP servers.
    For example, we want servers[10.10.10.1~10.10.10.6] to be the NTP server, and all clocks on servers[10.10.10.1~10.10.10.120] are synchronized automatically. How can we config NTP servers and clients?
    And when some NTP server's system clock changed suddenly(e.g. when some physical machine is down, and we move the VM onto a new one. The system clock may change.) How can we detected the change and fix the error?
    BTW, it says that "The W32Time service is not a full-featured NTP solution that meets time-sensitive application needs and is not supported by Microsoft as such." (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773263(v=ws.10).aspx).
    Can we still use W32TIME? Because Non-microsoft software may cause a VERY LONG term examination in our company, and we prefer a microsoft solution.
    Sorry for the bad english.
    Kind regards,
    M.Sheng

    Hi sjmind,
    In domain environment, all computer clocks in an AD DS domain are synchronized with the time of an authoritative computer. Many factors can affect time synchronization on
    a network.
    An AD DS forest has a predetermined time synchronization hierarchy. The Windows Time service synchronizes time between computers within the hierarchy, with the most accurate
    reference clocks at the top. Therefore it is impossible to use multi computer as the authority of time source.
    You can refer the following KB to plan how to sync your domain computer time.

  • SQL Server 2005 High Availability and Disaster Recovery options

    Hi, We are are working on a High Availability & Disaster Recovery Planning solution for an application database which is on SQL Server 2005. What different options have we got to implement this for SQL Server 2005 and after we have everything setup how
    do we test the failover is working?
    Thanks in advance.........
    Ione

    DR : Disaster recovery is the best option for the business to minimize their data loss and downtime. The SQL server has a number of native options. But, everything is depends upon your recovery time objective RTO and recovery point objective RPO.
    1. Data center disaster
    Geo Clustering
    2. Server(Host)/Drive (Except shared drive) disaster
    Clustering
    3. Database/Drive disaster     
    Database mirroring
    Log shipping
    Replication
    Log shipping
    Log shipping is the process of automating the full database backup and transaction log on a production server and then automatically restores them on to the secondary (standby) server.
    Log shipping will work either Full or Bulk logged recovery model.
    You can also configure log shipping in the single SQL instance.
    The Stand by database can be either restoring or read only (standby).
    The manual fail over is required to bring the database online.
    Some data can be lost (15 minutes).
    Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication
    Peer-to-peer transactional replication is designed for applications that might read or might modify the data in any database that participates in replication. Additionally, if any servers that host the databases are unavailable, you can modify the application
    to route traffic to the remaining servers. The remaining servers contain same copies of the data.
    Clustering
    Clustering is a combination of one or more servers it will automatically allow one physical server to take over the tasks of another physical server that has failed. Its not a real disaster recovery solution because if the shared drive unavailable we cannot
    bring the database to online.
    Clustering is best option it provides a minimum downtime (like 5 minutes) and data loss in case any data center (Geo) or server failure.
    Clustering needs extra hardware/server and it’s more expensive.
    Database mirroring
    Database mirroring introduced in 2005 onwards. Database Mirroring maintain an exact copy of a database on a different server. It has automatic fail over option and mainly helps to increase the database availability too.
    Database mirroring only works FULL recovery model.
    This needs two instances.
    Mirror database always in restoring state.

    HADR Considerations
    Need to Understand the business motivations and regulatory requirements that are driving the customer's HA/DR requirements. Understand how your customer categorizes the workload from an HA/DR perspective. There is likely to be an alignment between the needs
    and categorization.
    Check for both the recovery time objective (RTO) and the recovery point objective (RPO) for different workload categories, for both a failure within a data center (local high availability) and a total data center failure (disaster recovery). While RPO and
    RTO vary for different workloads because of business, cost, or technological considerations, customers may prefer a single technical solution for ease in operations. However, a single technical solution may require trade-offs that need to be discussed with
    customers so that their expectations are set appropriately.
    Check and understand if there is an organizational preference for a particular HA/DR technology. Customers may have a preference because of previous experiences, established operational procedures, or simply the desire for uniformity across databases from
    different vendors. Understand the motives behind a preference: A customers' preference for HA/DR may not be because of the functions and features of the HA/DR technology. For example, a customer may decide to adopt a third-party solution for DR to maintain
    a single operational procedure. For this reason, using HA/DR technology provided by a SAN vendor (such as EMC SRDF) is a popular approach.
    To design and adopt an HA/DR solution it is also important to understand the implications of applying maintenance to both hardware and software (including Windows security patching). Database mirroring is often adopted to minimize the service disruption
    to achieve this objective.
    HADR Options :
    Failover clustering for HA and database mirroring for DR.
    Synchronous database mirroring for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
    Geo-cluster for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
    Failover clustering for HA and storage area network (SAN)-based replication for DR.
    Peer-to-peer replication for HA and DR (and reporting).
    Backup & Restore ( DR)
    keep your server DB backups in network location ( DR)
    Always keep your sql server 2005 upto date, in case if you are not getting any official support from MS then you have to take care of any critical issues and more..

  • VMM 2012: How to Configure Automatic Start and Stop Actions for a Virtual Machine?

    Does somebody know how to confgure Automatic Start and Stop Actions for a Virtual Machine in VMM 2012?
    I miss that option.

    Automatic Start or Automatic Restart actions are available for virtual machines running on a Hyper-V cluster from within Virtual Machine Manager.
    From within Virtual Machine Manager, bring up the Virtual Machine's properties:
    Click "Hardware Configuration"
    Click "Availability"
    Click "High", "Medium", or "Low" to enable automatic start/restart or
    Click "Do not restart automatically" to disable automatic start/restart
    Screenshot from VMM 2012 for a VM running in a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster:
    VMs running on a cluster have to be marked "Highly Available" and logically, Microsoft assumes that you'll want these VMs to be running all the time when this setting is selected.  If the cluster fails or needs to be restarted, you can set the priority
    by which a VM restarts, or you can set the VM to not restart at all when cluster services are restored by using the settings above.

  • – Enable high availability and redundancy for Cisco WAAS

    How this is available
    – Enable high availability and redundancy for Cisco WAAS appliances in data centers.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You can serially cluster two WAE devices with the Cisco WAE Inline  Network Adapter installed to provide higher availability in the data  center if a device fails. If the current optimizing device fails, the  inline group shuts down, or the device becomes the overloaded, the  second WAE device in the cluster provides the optimization services.  Deploying WAE devices in a serial inline cluster for scaling or load  balancing is not supported.
    More deatils here: Clustering Inline WAEs
    Hope this helps.

  • How to enable high availability on SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2

    Dear Folks,
    I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
    information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
    and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
    from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

    Try below

  • How to configure the runtime and consolidation for a track in CMS.

    How to configure the runtime and consolidation for a track in CMS.
    I can see the track exists in CMS but the same doesnt pull up in the NWDS in the development configuration perspective.
    I compared the given track with the one which gets pulled up in NWDS. Theres something called runtime system and consolidation which isnt defined for the track which is invisible.
    Please advise , what are these required for. And how can we configure the same.

    The runtime systems are defined for a track to setup the Transport path for any code changes....the Consolidation system is usually defined as a Virtual system for the track and used for comparison and fixing any broken or Dirty DC's ....that means it's not used as a Runtime System for Deployment as compared to DEV,QAT and PROD used for Deployment...
    Hope it helps..

  • How about a "High Availability Certification"

    I think it would be great if there was a "High Availability Certification".
    It would prove the ability to combine: RAC, Data Guard, RMAN and maybe Golden Gate.
    Basically a certification showing knowledge of MAA.
    Let's hear some opinions on this . . .

  • How to configure a shell and tube heat exchanger with Lab VIew to get data

    HiI
    In our undergraduate chemical engineering labboratory we want to configure our shell and tube heat exchanger  with a DAq and Lab VIEW to get information about the temperaure (of the cold fluid stream being heated), the pressure (of the steam on the shell side of the heat exchanger) and the flowrate (of the water being heated).
    Can anyone suggest thermocouples, pressure transducers and flowmeters to fit between the heat exchanger and the DAq?
    P.S. the heat exchanger is already fitted with thermometers, a pressure gauge and a rotameter but we don't know how to connect these hardware to the DAq
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It sounds like you have enough information to pick out appropriate sensors, you just need to do the research. I would start looking through the Omega catalog, or give them a call - they're usually helpful. I can't take the time to spec out parts for you - that would be a lot of time spent on someone else's project. Most pressure sensors put out either a 4-20mA or 0-5V signal, either of which you can read through an analog input on a DAQ; measuring a 4-20mA signal requires a resistor to convert to voltage. Most of the NI DAQ boards can read a thermocouple on an analog input, but make sure that your hardware does support reading thermocouples. For accurate readings, use a device that has built-in cold junction compensation - for example, the SCB-68 connector block - and for the most accurate readings, get a board specifically designed for temperature measurement.
    For the flow measurement, a standard, simple solution is an orifice plate. You put a differential pressure transducer across it, look up the appropriate equations, and use them to calculate the flow rate given the density of the fluid (which you'll be able to calculate from the pressure and temperature, since steam tables are widely available). There are other differential pressure devices available as well - at a previous job we used a V-Cone from McCrometer. If you call them they'll spec one for you - but get an approximate cost first to make sure it's within your budget.
