A suite of network-based services, such as the services corresponding to the server application distributed by Microsoft&#xae; SharePoint&#x2122;, may be provided to users with high availability. The suite of network-based services may include browser-based collaboration functions, process management functions, index and search functions, document-management functions, help and help search functions, and/or other functions. A plurality of computing devices functioning as servers may be backed up by a single computing device.

System and method for providing server application services with high availability and a many-to-one hardware configuration

A method includes receiving a connection request at a connection server port via a network from a client, the connection request directed to an application server, duplicating a socket for the communication and passing the socket to the application server, and replying to the network client connection request to establish a direct connection between the client and the application server via the passed socket, and this method support SSL protocol via passed socket.

Server port sharing based on shared socket

In a computer system, a standby master processor is configured to serve as a backup processor for an active master processor. A third party replica processor is configured to monitor and record changes on the active master processor when the active master processor is executing, and is further configured to synchronize itself with the standby master processor when the standby master processor takes over execution from the active master processor. Logs of changes are maintained. A negotiation occurs between the standby master processor and the third party replica processor to determine the status of the logs of the standby master processor and the third party replica processor, and logs are applied or paused relating to one or more of the standby master processor and the third party replica processor to synchronize the standby master processor and the third party replica processor.

System and method to avoid resynchronization when protecting multiple servers

A system and method is provided for providing assured recovery for a distributed application. Replica servers associated with the distributed application may be coordinated to perform integrity testing together for the whole distributed application. The replica servers connect to each other in a manner similar to the connection between master servers associated with the distributed application, thereby preventing the replica servers from accessing and/or changing application data on the master servers during integrity testing.

Mechanism to provide assured recovery for distributed application

A system is configured to provide a suite of network-based services to users with high availability. The suite of network-based services may include browser-based collaboration functions, process management functions, index functions, search functions, help search functions, document-management functions, and/or other functions. The suite of network-based services may correspond to services provided by a server application such as Microsoft&#xae; SharePoint&#x2122; being executed on one or more processors of one or more servers. As used herein, the term 'high availability' may refer a system design protocol that ensures a certain degree of operational continuity during a given measurement period.

System and method for enhancing efficiency and/or efficacy of switchover and/or failover in providing network based services with high availability

A system and method is provided for ensuring high availability for a distributed application. A management object manages multiple scenarios defined for protection units associated with a distributed application. The management object may coordinate various operations performed at the protection units based on management object configuration information.

System and method for providing high availability for distributed application

A suite of network-based services, such as the services corresponding to Microsoft&#xae; SharePoint&#x2122;, are provided to users with high availability. The suite of network-based services may include browser-based collaboration functions, process management functions, index and search functions, document-management functions, and/or other functions. In particular, the indexing service associated with the suite of network-based services may be provided with high availability.

System and method for providing indexing with high availability in a network based suite of services

A suite of network-based services, such as the services corresponding to Microsoft&#xae; SharePoint&#x2122;, are provided to users with high availability. To maintain the availability of the services, the configuration parameters of a first server are updated on an ongoing basis, and the updated configuration parameters are used to configure a second, backup server. In the event of switchover or failover, the backup server is prepared to provide the serving functionality of the first server.
