Application Recovery Kits (ARKs) include tools and utilities that allow LifeKeeper to manage and control a specific application. When an ARK is installed for a specific application, LifeKeeper is able to monitor the health of the application and automatically recover the application if it fails. The LifeKeeper Recovery Kit is non-intrusive and requires no changes within the application in order for LifeKeeper to protect it.
Check the SteelEye Technology, Inc. web site at www.steeleye.com for the latest list of available Recovery Kits.
SteelEye also provides an Application Recovery Software Developer's Kit (SDK) that supports the development of custom Recovery Kits. The Application Recovery SDK offers a powerful framework for developing customized recovery routines for proprietary applications as well as commercial application servers.
An administration guide is included with each Recovery Kit which provides configuration and administration information specific to the software package. A guide is also provided with the SDK.
An additional feature that is available for LifeKeeper is the optional LifeKeeper Data Replication (LKDR) software which provides synchronous or asynchronous data mirroring capability for configurations without shared storage.
