Sios Technology Introduces LifeKeeper v10

Sios Technology, based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has announced the launch of their new high-availability cluster software, LifeKeeper v10, set to roll out on November 11, 2025 (U.S. time). This release is crucial as it addresses the pressing issue of IT personnel shortages in Japan, where the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry has projected a concerning decline in new IT entrants compared to retirees since the peak in 2019. With an increasing average age of IT professionals and growing demands for robust digital infrastructure, the need for a reliable IT system is more critical than ever.

Background and Purpose

The Japanese government has recognized a trend where the declining population of younger individuals entering the IT industry leads to a shortage of talent. By 2030, the average age of IT professionals is expected to continue climbing, further highlighting the industry’s aging workforce. At the same time, Japan's expanding digital sector requires a stable provision of services, as mandated by the
特定社会基盤役務の安定的な提供の確保に関する制度” (System for Ensuring Stable Provision of Certain Social Infrastructure Services). This legislative shift emphasizes the necessity for enhanced reliability and failover strategies in IT systems.

In response to these challenges, Sios Technology aims to ensure that businesses can seamlessly sustain stable IT operations with the launch of LifeKeeper v10. The software is designed to simplify system operations and maintenance, making it easier for organizations to transition through technological shifts while mitigating risks.

Features of LifeKeeper v10

LifeKeeper v10 introduces several key enhancements focused on user experience and operational efficiency. The product has undergone a comprehensive expansion and restructuring to simplify the selection, construction, and management processes. This way, users can select products with ease, reduce the time for setup, and minimize operational burdens. Here are some key features:

1. Standardized Web Management Console
The new LifeKeeper version comes equipped with a web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) that is standard across both Linux and Windows platforms. This commonality not only enhances usability but also helps standardize operational procedures, reducing the chance of user errors.

2. Reorganized Product Lineup
Sios Technology has reorganized its product offerings to provide a flexible structure that accommodates various operating systems. The team has streamlined navigation through their product categories, making the purchasing process more intuitive. Moreover, all but one product line (DataKeeper Cluster Edition v10) will now offer a subscription model, allowing clients to choose between perpetual licenses and subscriptions based on their needs and budget.

3. Unified Lifecycle for Windows and Linux Versions**
By synchronizing the release of Windows and Linux versions, Sios Technology enhances the overall consistency and compatibility between platforms. This unification of lifecycle management aids clients in planning their system implementations and long-term operational strategies more efficiently.
