Epicor’s ABS Failover offering builds on the capabilities of our ABS Online Backup service to offer cost-effective Eclipse hosting in the event of a disaster.
There are a few requirements that must be met for the ABS Failover service to function:
- Eclipse must be running on the Linux or Windows platforms
- Broadband Internet connection for secure, offsite ABS Online Backup
- Cisco-compatible WAN equipment for establishing connectivity to ABS Failover server(s)
In the event of a disaster, here is a general overview of the ABS Failover process:
- Disaster causes customer’s primary Eclipse server(s) to go offline
- Customer contacts Epicor Eclipse Systems Support team
- Eclipse restores customer’s most recent ABS Online Backup to a set of failover servers
- Customer connects to ABS Failover servers and continues business
