High Availability

MetaDefender Managed File Transfer is using a 3rd party solution called Neverfail Continuity Engine, to enable Active-Passive High Availability between two MD MFT instances.

Neverfail Continuity Engine is a dependable software solution, ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical applications through advanced monitoring and failover capabilities, enhancing business resilience against downtime and data loss.

Limitations

  • Neverfail High Availability setup is a 2 node system in Active/Passive setup
  • Virtual Machines cannot be in an Active Directory, have to manage the Operation Systems in Standalone mode
  • This solution does not address high availability for either LocalDB or Microsoft SQL Server (RemoteDB).

Prerequisite

  • Remote MSSQL server: Separate Microsoft SQL server is required accessible by Virtual Machines
  • Dedicated heartbeat network: Neverfail requires a separate network for heartbeat and data transfer channel
  • Static IP: All Network interface has to have static IP.
  • Permission to clone: Access and permission to create a clone of the Virtual Machine
  • Open network ports: Windows Firewall ports to open for Neverfail Continuity Engine: 57348 , 52267
