Introduction to Ozeki Cluster

Hardware can fail. To provide a reliable service, you need a solution, that detects failure and acts automatically. OZEKI Cluster automatically moves any service to another computer in case of a hardware failure, and keeps the IP address associated with the service on-line. Ozeki Cluster can also keep your files synchronized. Learn how to setup such a solution.

Installing Ozeki Cluster is simple and straightforward, you simply download the installation package and run it, then click next on most screens. During the installation you will need to specify the target directory and you will need to provide a password you can use for confiuration.

This is an example configuration, that demonstrates how to setup a failover cluster. This example configuration works on two servers (one primary and one backup), and it moves the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway service to the backup node if the primary server hardware fails.

To provide a reliable backup service the files between the primary and the backup server need to be synchronized. Ozeki Cluster has a built in file system watcher feature, that check the directory periodically for changes and transfers new and modified files to the backup server. This feature is optimized to be able to work with large files. It can also handle very large directories (directories with several hundred thousand files)
