The "secure-from-the-ground-up" design principles of your Clavister Security Gateway result in high reliability and uptime. However, in any complex system, there is always a risk for failures. These may range from manual errors to more complicated hardware component errors. Whatever the cause, communication disruptions are, at the very least, annoying.
We consider them totally unacceptable.
The high availability feature of Clavister Security Gateway enables you to setup a secondary, redundant back up Security Gateway system, thereby minimizing the risk of communication disruptions.
Upon any failure on the primary Security Gateway, the secondary Security Gateway automatically takes control over the data flow to guarantee network uptime. The transition takes only a fraction of a second and is totally invisible to all traffic.
An advanced Link Monitor is able to detect dead links, interfaces and gateways, thereby greatly enhancing the reliability of the total system.
A dedicated ethernet interface is used for synchronization, which guarantees that all state information, including VPN sessions, are synchronized without delays, even in solutions with extremely high throughput.
Moreover, our solution permits the redundant units to be synchronized using fiber optic links and can thereby be installed in completely separate locations.
The Clavister Security Gateway Manager automatically makes sure that both the redundant back up unit and the primary unit share the same configuration, meaning that only the primary Security Gateway needs to be configured.
Create redundant back up clusters with instant fail-over, upon device failure.
