High Availability through Application Redundancy Application approach to resilience Database replication ensures multiple application instances remain synchronized Hot standby redundant applications that can take over services instantly Critical data replicated or mirrored between servers Gateways provide survivable telephony to enable calling even if contact to server lost Application capacity scales with processing resources, memory and hard discs Can grow with the business No forklift upgrades or server replacement Traditional PBX vendors often requires phones to be replaced for larger platforms You should always have dial tone. PRIMARY Real Time Replication Real Time Mirroring SECONDARY In testing fail-over of the VCX, we were frankly astonished that we could keep disconnecting back-up controllers, and phone service continued without skipping a beat. * 41 *Source: Miercom is a privately held network consultancy, specializing in networking and communications-related product testing and analysis.
