Sanbolic AppCluster Provides Active-Active Clustering of SQL Servers and Virtual Machines for High Availability and

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
Sanbolic today announced AppCluster, a solution for managing
active-active clusters of SQL Servers, virtual machines and other
resources in conjunction with Sanbolic's clustered file system, Melio FS.
This new product provides ease of management, high availability, very
fast failover, and load balancing of multiple physical or virtual SQL
servers accessing a single SAN LUN containing multiple data stores.

The Sanbolic solution supports SQL 2008 Enterprise, as well as clustering
virtual hard disks and other resources. The product utilizes the
active-active storage access provided by Melio file system and LaScala
volume manager, so that all database servers can concurrently mount a
shared LUN. The number of machines in the cluster can be dynamically
expanded, and storage volumes can be dynamically expanded. The product
uses a .NET based windows service, and works in conjunction with Windows
SQL Management Studio, providing a virtual transparent active-active
clustering solution. It enables databases to be moved very quickly between
SQL servers either for availability, or to better match server capacity
with workload. Both planned and unplanned migrations of workloads are
supported. It can be installed using any industry standard servers running
SQL Enterprise together with any industry standard SAN storage.

Sanbolic's Melio clustered file system and LaScala clustered volume
manager allow multiple Servers to have concurrent read/write shared
access to a SAN volume, while utilizing full performance of the SAN
hardware. Sanbolic has optimized the lock architecture of Melio to enable
block objects such as databases and virtual machine files to have direct
I/O access to SAN storage resources. Melio and LaScala install easily on
physical or virtual servers, and can utilize any fibre channel or iSCSI
SAN.

Sanbolic software currently supports Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2,
Windows Server 2008, including Server Core, Windows Server 2008 R2, and
System Center Virtual Machine Manager R2. Sanbolic distributes its product
solutions worldwide through a network of distributors, OEMs, VARs and
system integrators.

Sanbolic will be exhibiting at Microsoft TechEd in Los Angeles May 11-14,
and at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans July
13-16.
