Many factors can lead to the breakdown of your IT systems – from individual component wear to the failure of a whole computing centre. The only guarantee for uninterruptible operations is to safeguard all important applications by means of redundant systems. We can build customized, fault-tolerant and high-availability systems for you on the basis of cost-effective, conventional hardware components plus tried-and-tested Linux^© software.

In a business that is constantly growing, more requests and more bandwidth are everyday issues, and the capacities of individual servers increasingly become bottlenecks. fivetimesnine can provide individual load-balancing solutions in order to deal with every bottleneck properly. For example, distributing requests over dozens or even hundreds of servers. That means you can respond flexibly to demands for CPU performance, I/O throughput or bandwidth.

Individual file servers quickly become the weakest link in the chain when large quantities of data have to be handled, even with just a few terabytes of payload. One solution is to use networked storage systems plus parallel and distributed file systems based on these which enable fast simultaneous access to many clients.
