This add-on ensures critical workloads stay synchronized across sites or environments, providing a solid foundation for business continuity in education, nonprofit, and government operations.
- Automated failover and failback: Automated failover keeps applications online during outages and enables rapid recovery when the primary path is restored. Failback capabilities resume normal operations quickly, reducing disruption and preserving service levels for essential systems such as databases, virtualized environments, and line-of-business apps.
- Seamless integration and centralized management: The add-on integrates tightly with your existing Arcserve setup, delivering unified policy management, centralized dashboards, and a single pane of glass for configuration, monitoring, and reporting. Define replication targets, retention policies, and failover criteria once and apply them consistently across assets.
- Scalability, flexibility, and broad compatibility: Built to grow with your organization, the add-on supports multiple deployment models and protected assets, including virtual machines, physical servers, and multi-platform workloads. As you expand to new sites or add data sources, replication and HA capabilities scale without rearchitecting your protection strategy.
- Academic GLP pricing and long-term value: Access Arcserve protection with GLP Academic pricing designed for education, nonprofits, and government partners. The 1 Unit add-on license offers a straightforward path to expand data protection responsibly, while ensuring governance, compliance, and access to Arcserve’s training and support resources.

How to install Arcserve Replication And High Availability Add On License 1 Unit
Installing the Arcserve Replication and High Availability Add-on is streamlined to minimize disruption while maximizing protection. Follow these high-level steps to enable seamless integration with your existing Arcserve environment:
- Prepare your environment: Verify that you already have a licensed Arcserve deployment in place. Review compatibility notes for your Arcserve version and ensure your hardware and network meet recommended requirements for replication and failover traffic.
- Obtain and apply the GLP Academic add-on: Acquire the 1 Unit Add-on License through the Arcserve GLP channel designated for academic pricing. Apply the license to your existing Arcserve console to enable replication and HA features associated with the add-on.
- Define replication targets: Within the Arcserve console, specify one or more replication targets (secondary sites or standby resources). Configure the replication direction, frequency, and bandwidth controls to align with your RPO/RTO goals.
- Configure policies and failover criteria: Create centralized policies that govern what gets replicated, retention periods, and the conditions under which automatic failover should occur. Include failback criteria to ensure smooth recovery when primary paths are restored.
- Enable automated failover and testing: Turn on automated failover for critical workloads and run controlled failover tests to validate recovery procedures, accessibility of data, and application resume times without impacting production users.
- Monitor and fine-tune: Use the centralized dashboards to monitor replication health, latency, and failover events. Adjust replication windows, network QoS settings, and resource allocation to optimize performance and minimize disruption during outages.
- Ongoing governance and optimization: Periodically review retention policies, target site capacity, and failover criteria to ensure alignment with evolving business needs and regulatory requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Q: What is the Arcserve Replication And High Availability Add On License 1 Unit?
A: It is a 1 Unit add-on license that extends your Arcserve deployment with robust replication and high-availability capabilities. It enables continuous data protection, automated failover and failback, and centralized management to support mission-critical workloads in education, nonprofit, and government contexts, all within the Arcserve GLP framework.
Q: What workloads are supported by this add-on?
A: The add-on protects a broad range of assets, including virtual machines, physical servers, and multi-platform workloads. This makes it suitable for databases, ERP systems, student and donor databases, government applications, and other essential services that require high availability and rapid recovery.
Q: What does GLP Academic pricing mean for this license?
A: GLP Academic pricing provides discounted, governance-friendly licensing for education, nonprofit, and government partners. It offers access to Arcserve protection, support resources, and documentation, helping institutions scale their data protection while maintaining compliance and budget discipline.
Q: Do I need an existing Arcserve deployment to use this add-on?
A: Yes. This add-on is designed to integrate with your existing Arcserve environment, extending its replication and high-availability capabilities. It relies on the base Arcserve deployment to deliver centralized management and policy-driven protection.
Q: How does automated failover work in practice?
A: When a failure is detected at the primary site, automated failover activates the replica to take over service delivery with minimal downtime and data loss. After the primary path is restored, failback procedures bring systems back to the original state, preserving continuity with limited interruption.
Q: How should I plan for installation and testing?
A: Plan a staged deployment that aligns with your RPOs and RTOs. Begin by applying the GLP add-on license, configuring replication targets, and creating policies. Then perform controlled failover tests to validate recovery times, data integrity, and application accessibility before toggling production workloads to automatic failover during real outages.
