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.

About
Failover Clustering in Windows Server (and Azure Local) enables a group of independent servers to work together to improve availability and scalability for clustered roles (formerly known as clustered applications and services). These nodes are interconnected via hardware and software, and if one node fails, another assumes its roles through an automated failover process. Clustered roles are actively monitored and, if they stop functioning, are restarted or migrated to maintain service continuity. The feature also supports Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs), which provide a unified, distributed namespace and consistent shared storage access across nodes, reducing service disruptions. Typical uses include high‑availability file shares, SQL Server instances, and Hyper‑V virtual machines. Failover Clustering is supported on Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, and in Azure Local environments.
