What is Arcserve Replication and High Availability (RHA)
Arcserve Replication and High Availability (RHA) is a workload replication and failover product used to maintain application availability and support disaster recovery. It replicates data and system changes from a source server to a target (on-premises or cloud) and automates failover and failback for supported platforms. Typical users include infrastructure and disaster recovery teams protecting business-critical applications such as Windows/Linux servers and common enterprise databases. The product focuses on near-real-time replication and orchestration of recovery actions rather than broader governance, risk, and compliance workflows.
Near-real-time replication capability
RHA is designed to replicate changes continuously from production to a standby system to reduce recovery point objectives (RPOs). This approach fits use cases where frequent backups alone do not meet downtime or data-loss tolerances. It supports high-availability patterns where a warm standby is maintained and promoted during an outage.
Automated failover and failback
The product includes orchestration for failover to a replica and subsequent failback when the primary environment is restored. Automation reduces reliance on manual runbooks during incidents and helps standardize recovery steps. This is aligned with IT resilience operations rather than policy-centric business continuity tooling.
Application-aware protection options
RHA commonly integrates with supported operating systems and application stacks to coordinate replication and recovery in a way that is more application-aware than generic file copy. This can simplify recovery for workloads that require ordered startup or consistency handling. It is suited to IT teams that need technical recovery controls rather than enterprise risk registers and compliance attestations.
Narrower BCM program coverage
RHA focuses on IT replication and recovery automation, not end-to-end business continuity management program features. It does not replace tools used for enterprise risk assessments, policy management, audits, or third-party risk workflows. Organizations often still need separate systems for BCM governance and compliance reporting.
Platform and workload constraints
Replication and automated recovery typically depend on supported operating systems, applications, and infrastructure patterns. Coverage gaps can appear for specialized platforms, legacy applications, or certain cloud-native architectures. Buyers usually need to validate workload compatibility and recovery behavior per application.
Operational complexity and tuning
Continuous replication and automated failover introduce operational overhead such as network sizing, replication lag monitoring, and recovery testing. Misconfiguration can lead to inconsistent recovery outcomes or unexpected failover behavior. Teams should plan for ongoing administration, testing, and change management as applications evolve.
