📅 - Toronto-based software provider Avokia (avokia.com) announced on Thursday that it has partnered with telecommunications provider TELUS (telus.com) to significantly enhance its managed services offerings, providing TELUS clients with full availability for its business applications.
The relationship enables TELUS to offer "pay-as-you-grow" continuous availability services on a highly efficient hosting platform, integrated with seamless disaster recovery.
"For companies that rely on their business applications to handle enormous numbers of transactions, downtime of even a few seconds for upgrades or maintenance can cost a fortune," says Alan McMillan, Avokia president and CEO. "For them, a major failure of a business application is a disaster that traditional backup technology can't mitigate."
Avokia software enables its customers to create a virtualized group of multiple, identical up-to-the-millisecond copies of their databases, over almost any distance. This ensures that customers' applications will maintain full availability in the event of an outage because they always have another database already running.
