Case Study: Cisco Systems achieves high availability and five-nines uptime with LINBIT DRBD and Pacemaker

Cisco Systems - Customer Case Study

Cisco Systems worked with LINBIT to strengthen the high availability of its Digital Media Systems appliances for enterprise data centers and service providers. Cisco needed a solution that could automatically recover services from hardware and software failures and help customers meet strict uptime requirements, including five nines availability.

LINBIT implemented DRBD High Availability software with Pacemaker to enable automatic failover inside Cisco’s appliances, often within seconds. The result was a more resilient OEM solution that helped Cisco deliver 99.999% availability for mission-critical workloads, backed by LINBIT’s technical expertise and 24x7 support with one-hour emergency response times.
