StandbyServer 32 for LAN Server is the premier fault tolerant mirroring system for networks running IBM's OS/2 LAN Server Advanced. It gives you the ability to connect a hot, online replacement server to the main server that can take over instantly if the main server fails. In virtually all configurations, users experience no downtime; they don't even have to log in again. Data is automatically mirrored between the machines, through native LAN Server mirroring via a high-speed dedicated link.

StandbyServer 32 for LAN Server was developed specifically for mission-critical networks where the cost of downtime is significant. It ensures data availability in the case of software or hardware failure while preserving diagnostic information on failures in the primary server. StandbyServer 32 for LAN Server provides a level of fault tolerance previously unavailable for LAN Server networks.
