Disaster Recovery Installations and Upgrades
LogRhythm’s Disaster Recovery solutions are optimized to meet recovery objectives and minimize resource requirements. They provide an affordable option for enterprise business continuity planning while also providing continuous security monitoring. LogRhythm provides disaster recovery capabilities at each layer of the solution, including mirroring of the deployment configuration data, events and alarms to a secondary site. This allows for continued operation of LogRhythm’s Security Intelligence Platform if the primary site is disrupted. It also allows enterprises to adhere to disaster recovery policies to provide protection in case a primary site fails due to natural or man-made disasters.
Starting with LogRhythm 7.8, the High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) software was decoupled from the SIEM software. There will no longer be a new upgrade package provided for HA/DR with every SIEM release.
The current version of HA and DR software is 10.1. The same files used to upgrade to 7.11 will be used to upgrade to 7.12.
