High Availability

Keep systems running when infrastructure fails.

Quorum activates protected workloads on local recovery infrastructure in minutes—helping your organization maintain operations through server failure, application disruption, and localized outages.

Rapid Local Recovery

Recovery time becomes restart time.

Traditional HA duplicates production and adds operational complexity. Quorum takes a simpler approach: frequent, bootable snapshots that can run directly on local recovery infrastructure.

01

Recover locally

Activate protected workloads without waiting for replacement hardware or a full restore.

02

Boot in minutes

Start systems directly from consistent, point-in-time snapshots on the onQ platform.

03

Restore later

Resume operations first, then return workloads to production when the environment is ready.

Activation, Not Restoration

From failure to operational in minutes.

One consistent workflow moves protected systems from a trusted recovery point to running applications.

01

Protect

Capture frequent, consistent snapshots of physical and virtual systems.

02

Detect

Identify affected workloads and select the right recovery point.

03

Activate

Start virtual recovery nodes directly on the local onQ platform.

04

Resume

Bring applications back while production is repaired or replaced.

05

Restore

Return workloads to production when your team is ready.

Boot first. Restore whenever. Operations no longer have to wait for infrastructure repair.
High Availability Without the Complexity

Built for real infrastructure failure.

Protect more environments with a recovery model that is practical to operate, test, and repeat.

Minimize downtime

Activate critical workloads within minutes instead of waiting through a full restoration process.

Simplify recovery

Replace complicated clustering with a consistent, policy-driven activation workflow.

$

Reduce infrastructure cost

Avoid continuously running duplicate production systems solely for localized failover.

Protect mixed environments

Support physical servers, VMware, and virtual machines across multiple hypervisors.

Recover complete applications

Activate related servers together rather than rebuilding dependencies manually.

Test without disruption

Validate recovery points and workflows without affecting production operations.

Policy-Based Recovery

Bring systems back in the right order.

Applications depend on authentication, databases, files, networks, and services working together. Recovery policies coordinate the full environment—not just individual servers.

  • Domain controllers and authentication services
  • Database-first startup sequences
  • Application and web server dependencies
  • Complete multi-server environments

Local Resilience

Ready for everyday failures.

High Availability protects the operational events that happen far more often than a full-site disaster.

Hardware failure

Run workloads while failed servers, storage, or components are repaired.

Operating system failure

Recover from corruption or failed updates using a known recovery point.

Application disruption

Return critical applications to service without rebuilding production.

Localized events

Maintain operations through a failed rack, storage system, or local segment.

Planned maintenance

Activate protected workloads while production hardware is serviced.

Ransomware response

Start a known recovery point in isolation while production is investigated.

Confidence Before the Outage

Know recovery will work.

Automated and on-demand testing gives your team evidence that snapshots boot, applications respond, and recovery sequences work—without interrupting production.

Protected Recovery Infrastructure

Recovery points built to survive an attack.

The recovery path is protected for modern ransomware, credential compromise, and zero-trust operations.

Immutable snapshots

Protected recovery points cannot be modified once written.

Logical air gap

Recovery storage is not continuously writable from production.

Encryption

Data is encrypted during transfer and while stored.

Role-based access

Limit administrative permissions by responsibility.

Recovery isolation

Activate and evaluate systems away from production networks.

Integrity validation

Automated testing verifies that recovery points stay usable.

A More Practical Approach

High Availability without duplicate production.

Traditional HA

Always-on complexity

  • Continuously running duplicate infrastructure
  • Complex cluster configuration
  • Application-specific compatibility requirements
  • Ongoing synchronization management
  • Higher infrastructure and administrative overhead
Quorum HA

Activate when needed

  • Frequent, bootable system snapshots
  • Protection across physical and virtual systems
  • Policy-based application recovery
  • Built-in testing and validation
  • Restore-back after operations resume
The Right Protection for the Right Event

Local recovery or site-level resilience?

High Availability

Keep operations running locally.

Protected systems activate on an onQ platform located at or near the primary environment.

  • Server and storage failure
  • Application outages
  • Rapid local recovery
  • Planned maintenance
Disaster Recovery

Survive the loss of the location.

Snapshots replicate to another onQ platform or Quorum Cloud for recovery away from the primary site.

  • Data center failure
  • Building-level events
  • Geographic redundancy
  • Complete primary-site loss
One Platform, Flexible Infrastructure

Deploy High Availability your way.

Both deployment models provide the same protection, activation, testing, and recovery capabilities. The difference is how the recovery infrastructure is deployed.

Is HA Right for You?

Built for organizations that cannot wait.

High Availability is a strong fit when downtime has measurable financial, operational, or human impact.

  • Critical systems must return within minutes
  • Hardware failure is a primary operational risk
  • Traditional clustering is too complex or expensive
  • Physical and virtual systems need one recovery model
  • Recovery procedures must be repeatable and testable
  • Production infrastructure remains physically accessible
Stay Operational

When systems stop, your business should not.

Turn protected snapshots into running systems. Activate in minutes, maintain operations, and restore when ready.
