- Backup and recover
  You can back up and recover the contents of your HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) installation.
- High availability and failover
  You can configure clustered HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) servers, and agents for high availability. You can also configure agents and agent relays for failover.
- Setting up high-availability clusters
  To configure a high-availability cluster, you store shared files on network storage. Then, you configure multiple servers, set each server to access the same files and database, and configure a load balancer to distribute the traffic between the servers.
  - Setting up clusters of servers
    To configure a cluster of servers, set up a shared database and file system for the servers to use.
  - Adding servers to clusters
    You can add new servers to a cluster at installation time, or you can move existing servers to be part of a cluster.
  - Converting a stand-alone server to high availability
    You can convert an HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) server into the first node of a high-availability cluster.
- Adding cold standby servers
  You can add cold standby servers to serve as a backup server or for disaster recovery. You must start the secondary server or servers when the active server fails, and network traffic is routed to the secondary servers.
- Server settings and configuration
  After you install HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy), you can modify the server configuration and configure more options.
- Setting user preferences
  Each user can specify display options for the server, including the language for the server and how the server shows times and dates.
- Agents and agent relay configuration
  After you install an agent for HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy), you can modify its configuration or create an agent relay to facilitate communication to remote relays.
- Licensing
  HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) provides a 60-day license-free evaluation period. To use all product features after the evaluation period, you must have a license.
- Setting up the wizard for new users
  HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) includes a wizard to help users become familiar with the procedures and steps in creating a deployment. Some configuration is required before the wizard can be used.
- Customizing the table views
  Customize a table view in the HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) application by hiding or showing, and reordering of the table columns.
