JFrog announced the availability of Artifactory version 3.1, the Binary Repository with High-Availability capabilities. This latest version of JFrog's product for software development prevents service disruptions, ensures smooth maintenance, and provides faster response times by enabling multiple Artifactory servers to run at once using the same data. Ideal for minimizing server downtime, Artifactory 3.1 supports a High-Availability network configuration with a cluster of two or more Artifactory servers on the same local area network.

This means that if one server goes down, the network will continue to run seamlessly, undisrupted. Benefits of the Artifactory 3.1 High-Availability offering include: Maximized Uptime: there is no single-point-of-failure and a system can operate as long as at least one of the Artifactory server nodes is operational, maximizing uptime to levels of up to 99.999% availability. Management of Heavy Loads: by supporting load balancing on multiple Artifactory server nodes, developers can leverage parallel read-write request processing and support heavier load bursts than ever before, with no compromise to performance.

Minimized Maintenance Downtime: with architecture including multiple Artifactory servers, developers can perform most maintenance tasks with zero system downtime, keeping users happy and unaffected. In addition to the HA capabilities, Artifactory 3.1 introduces several key updates, including a new API for per-file download statistics and improved Black Duck Code Center integration for open source governance.
