Heartbeat Support & Consultancy
The Heartbeat program is one of the core components of the Linux-HA (High-Availability Linux) project. Heartbeat is highly portable, and runs on every known Linux platform, and also on FreeBSD,OpenBSD,Solaris and Mac OSX. It performs death-of-node detection, communications and cluster management in one process. Its most important features are no fixed maximum number of nodes, resource monitoring, a fencing mechanism to remove failed nodes from the cluster, sophisticated policy based resource management, time based rules allow for different policies depending on time, resource scripts for Apache, PostgreSQL, Oracle and others included and a GUI for configuring, controlling and monitoring resources and nodes.
Heartbeat is open source software, which means that the user has the ability to change and customise it for their needs. Our consultants can provide expert support to manage and administer Heartbeat installations.
credativ has the largest dedicated open source support team in Europe, with the capability to offer up to 24x7 coverage for any Heartbeat installation. Our support contracts are priced competitively, starting at just £145 per month. This will cover any free software used by the customer - see our Open Source Support Centre for more.
