How It Works
|
Before high availability solutions:
- Single server goes down (eg email)
- All email is down
- IT department works madly under pressure to get back up and running.
- May need to buy new hardware, migrate data, reboot systems, etc = expensive system downtime!
|
After high availability solutions from Think4:
- One of the 2 or 3 servers goes down
- All servers now share resources and so the remaining server(s) that are up and running take up the workload
- Email system stays up and running
- Users are not causing panic and headaches for managers and IT staff
- Business continues as normal
- IT staff under less pressure to identify and resolve the cause of failure.
