Site1 is unusable for several days, but hardware is all in tact. Site2 brings up servers using Failover, sets to reverse protect, and commits the action.   Once Site1 becomes usable […]

    • JBOSS Cluster Supported

      I know most database-oriented clustering schemes with multiple VMs sharing common storage are incompatible with Zerto, but what about JBOSS clusters, where the separate JBOSS instances can be automatically clustered to improve load performance, but persistent storage is not involved? For reference, here’s the relevant JBOSS documentation: https://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/jboss4guide/r4/html/cluster.chapt.html Thanks!
