Achieving and sustaining high availability allows applications to continue in spite of a software or hardware failure. It ensures your employees can access the applications and data they need, and your business can continue uninterrupted.

Highly Available (HA) cluster solutions offer a high degree of system availability by linking systems together through a number of interconnections. If one system fails, the tasks assigned to that system can be transferred to another.

HA clusters are an ideal choice if database services are the predominant part of the application and the recovery model is transaction based. They may also be appropriate if scalability beyond a mid-range system is needed and the application can accommodate seconds to minutes of recovery time.

In designing your HA cluster solution, NCS Network selects products that will integrate together to provide the greatest degree of availability, such as with the addition of disk redundancy tools and power outage protection.
