About

DRBD® (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is an open source, software‑based, shared‑nothing block storage replication solution for Linux, designed primarily to deliver high-performance, high‑availability (HA) data services by mirroring local block devices between nodes in real time, either synchronously or asynchronously. Implemented deep in the Linux kernel as a virtual block‑device driver, DRBD ensures local read performance with efficient write‑through replication to peer(s). User‑space utilities like drbdadm, drbdsetup, and drbdmeta enable declarative configuration, metadata management, and administration across installations. Originally built for two‑node HA clusters, DRBD 9.x extends support to multi‑node replication and integration into software‑defined storage (SDS) systems such as LINSTOR, making it suitable for cloud‑native environments.

About

Evidian SafeKit is a high-availability software solution designed to ensure the redundancy of critical applications on Windows and Linux platforms. It provides an all-in-one approach by integrating load balancing, synchronous real-time file replication, automatic application failover, and automated failback after a server failure, all within a single software product. This eliminates the need for additional hardware components such as network load balancers or shared disks, as well as the necessity for enterprise editions of operating systems and databases. SafeKit's software clustering facilitates the creation of mirror clusters with real-time data replication and failover, farm clusters with load balancing and failover, and advanced architectures like farm+mirror clusters and active-active clusters. Its shared-nothing architecture simplifies deployment, even in remote sites, by avoiding the complexities associated with shared disk clusters.
