PowerShell

The PowerShell is offered as an alternative if you do not want to manage the replication process using the Manager graphic user interface. It enlarges and facilitates the capabilities of the CLI provided in previous versions, and it supports both replication and HA operations.

The PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting environment that allows you to configure a replication scenario and control and monitor the replication process. All scenarios managed by the PowerShell look and operate exactly as the ones that are managed by the Manager, and they are automatically saved in the same default location: INSTALL_DIR/ws_scenarios.

The PowerShell is based on the standard Windows PowerShell™, which comes with a large set of built-in commands with a consistent interface. The PowerShell component adds a number of scenario-related-commands, called snap-ins, which facilitate scenario management.

Arcserve RHA for Microsoft Failover Cluster

Arcserve RHA for Microsoft Failover Cluster includes a virtual disk resource plug-in and a lightweight interface installed on every node in the cluster.

Though high availability is built in to Microsoft cluster environments, shared storage could still be a single point of failure. Arcserve RHA protects cluster storage, allowing you to replicate data to a disk resource on or off-premises.
