SIOS LifeKeeper extends its protection to critical Milestone components, such as the Milestone Management Server, which is responsible for the central management and administration of the xProtect system.

By ensuring high availability for the Management Server, SIOS LifeKeeper guarantees continuous access to the surveillance system's control and configuration capabilities.

Flexibility and optimising performance

SIOS LifeKeeper offers flexibility in deploying Milestone xProtect by eliminating the requirement for separating the Management Server from the SQL Server. Organisations have the option to run both servers on the same physical machines or distribute them across separate servers, based on their specific requirements and resource availability. 

This flexibility simplifies the architecture design and provides administrators with more options to optimise performance and resource allocation. SIOS LifeKeeper for Windows joins SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition as a Milestone-verified product.
