About

OpenText Availability continuously replicates physical, virtual, and cloud systems at the byte level, capturing real-time changes with a Recovery Point Objective of seconds, and maintains duplicated Windows and Linux servers at secondary locations for near-zero downtime. In the event of an outage, it offers automated or on-demand failover with integrated heartbeat monitoring and DNS management, followed by seamless failback when systems are restored. Data is secured with AES 256-bit encryption in flight, while three tiers of compression and bandwidth-throttling options minimize network impact. An extensive API allows integration with other applications, and built-in alerting, reporting, and non-disruptive failover testing ensure administrators can monitor health, troubleshoot, and validate disaster-recovery plans without affecting production workloads. OpenText Availability supports any hypervisor, including VMware ESXi/vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, and any major cloud platform.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to understand and use. Reliable backups and restores. Very good and accessible support.
  • Easy to use software whether it is for File restoration or a complete VM. Back-up checks and reporting tools give me detailed information about any possible concerns. The software saves me a lot of time and is well worth a try if you are looking for a new back-up software for your VM's.
  • Simple to use Reasonable Price Reliable Excellent Support

Cons

  • Error messages could be a bit clearer maybe. The support handles them so it's not that important though.
  • Loading big images from olders dates takes some time to load.. coffee time!
  • I don't have any cons that i can think of.
