Sios Technology Inc. announced that it has teamed up with Supermicro and Fusion-io to launch the high performance SuperSQL Cluster Appliance. The high performance, high availability server platform is fully integrated with SIOS' DataKeeper Cluster Edition (DKCE) software and Fusion ioMemory products in a single chassis, dual-node Supermicro 2U Twin SuperServer, delivering outstanding performance with data protection. With SIOS, data protection is possible without an expensive SAN.

DKCE is fully integrated with Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS) and Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC). DKCE eliminates storage as a potential single point of failure (SPoF), enhancing both availability and performance. High capacity ioMemory products from Fusion-io deliver increased low-latency data performance.

In addition, Supermicro's 2U Twin server based appliance uses 10/40GbE network interface cards to provide ultra-low latency data mirroring for the database instances, as well as high-speed data transport between cluster nodes.
