help SIOS Protection Suite FAQ

What is the difference between SIOS LifeKeeper and DataKeeper?

LifeKeeper monitors applications and orchestrates recovery or failover between cluster nodes. DataKeeper replicates block-level data so the standby system has an up-to-date copy when shared storage is unavailable.

Does SIOS Protection Suite replace Windows Server Failover Clustering?

Not in every deployment: SIOS DataKeeper can provide replicated storage for a Windows Server Failover Cluster, while LifeKeeper offers its own application-recovery framework. The correct architecture depends on the protected workload and whether it runs on Windows or Linux.

Can SIOS protect SQL Server in AWS or Azure?

Yes, SIOS is designed for physical, virtual and cloud environments, including configurations where conventional shared storage is impractical. SQL Server protection may use DataKeeper replication plus clustering and an appropriate SQL Server recovery kit.

Does SIOS provide backup and disaster recovery by itself?

SIOS primarily delivers high availability, replication and automated failover, not a replacement for versioned backups. Replication can copy corruption or accidental deletion, so organizations still need separate backups and tested restore procedures.
