XIA Configuration automates the documentation process - giving IT teams confidence and control in the face of unexpected cluster failures.

Audit settings across clusters

Correct configuration is vital to ensure your failover clusters are secure and that workloads are transferred successfully during a node failure. Ensure consistency, stability, and security across your clusters by auditing your settings with XIA Configuration. Save time by checking settings across multiple servers at once. Easily detect outdated clusters that require patching or upgrading and clusters that don't adhere to your organisational standards.
