Hot Standby Engine » Backup Polling to Ensure 24x7 Monitoring

The Orion Hot Standby Engine will consistently check the primary systems' ability to function and record availability and performance data. In the event of a failure, the Hot Standby Engine will automatically assume network monitoring responsibility. When a failed polling engine returns to an operational state, the Hot Standby Engine will automatically return all monitoring tasks to the original polling engine.

Key Features:

• Continuously checks the primary Orion system for activity


• Automatically takes over monitoring, statistic collection and alerting if the primary system is down


• Automatically enters into "standby mode" when the primary Orion server recovers


• Sends notifications for polling engine failures


• Offers one-to-many failover capability


• Runs on a separate server leveraging your existing SQL database


• Includes a redundant Website


• Does not back up the Orion database (Uses Database Manager or SQL Enterprise Manager to perform backups)


• Must be installed on a separate server

Additional Polling Engine » Distributed Polling for Large, Enterprise Networks

With the addition of another Polling Engine, the polling load for Orion is distributed between multiple servers for large enterprise networks – a typical bottleneck when polling thousands of devices on large enterprise networks.
Key Features & Benefits

• Allows you to distribute device polling across multiple servers


• Increases the performance and scalability for users with large networks to manage

 

Additional Web Server » Enable More Users to Access Orion

By adding an additional web server, the Orion website can be run on a different machine than the Orion server, enabling more users to access the Orion web portal without affecting performance and providing increased scalability and deployment flexibility.
Key Features & Benefits

• Enables more users to access the Orion web portal without performance degradation


• Increases scalability and provides flexibility in deploying Orion
