Your site needs to be accessible

When your site or application is inaccessible, you are losing both revenue and customer trust. A high availability solution ensures operational continuity; you won't need to rely on any given piece of hardware for your site to be up and running.

Having 100% availability in your configuration is not always ideal, especially if it means a drop in site performance. The right solution for you depends on your requirements in terms of performance, security, and reliability.

Load balanced servers

Multiple web, application, or database servers can be configured to work together behind a load balancer. The load balancer decides where to direct incoming traffic, first verifying that the server is available. Utilizing a load balancer as part of your solution ensures that if one of your load-balanced servers is taken offline, your site remains available.

Redundant network devices

Having a true high availability environment means that you don't have a single point of failure in your configuration. Relying on a single device such as one firewall, one load balancer, or one power supply is a possible failure point. Adding a second, redundant device ensures that if one fails, another one is already running.

Clustered database and application servers

Multiple servers can act as a single database or application resource. One or more standby servers are in place so that if the active one fails, another is ready to take its place. There are various options for setting up this configuration on Linux servers and Windows servers, including: database mirroring, DRBD clustering, MS SQL clustering, and Exchange clustering.
