Reduce Network Downtime
Unparalleled Fault Tolerance. With eDirectory 8.5 you can secure your directory against data loss and downtime by replicating partitions to strategic locations on the network. This protects your directory from problems caused by a single point of failure, such as a master server going down or the temporary loss of a communication link. If a primary partition is lost, the directory automatically reconfigures itself to use another copy, or replica, of the partition. In addition, you can restore a partition that has been lost from one server by using a replica on a different server.
Uses Time Synchronization. When changes are made to any partition, eDirectory 8.5 automatically updates every replica of the partition, using time synchronization, thereby ensuring the reliability of the information within each partition. Furthermore, to ensure optimum performance, only the changes are sent across the network.
Dynamic Changes While Server Is Running. eDirectory 8.5 provides dynamic partitioning and replication "on-the-fly" which means that the directory can be partitioned and replicated without rebooting servers or interrupting directory or user access. This allows network supervisors to change the structure of the directory whenever needed, thus maintaining a fluid network composition that can readily and easily change with the company.
