high-availability distributed system
The availability network is a network system that aims to achieve high availability, operational reliability and low downtime. The availability network uses various provisioning techniques with spare computers and redundant components that are operated in cold standby or hot standby.
With such standby computers or also with backup computer centers, good availability and high availability can be achieved.
The availability network offers fault tolerance and can maintain operation and continue to provide the most important services even in the event of a fault or failure of individual components. Such systems are not limited to computer components, storage or servers, but place increased demands on data communication systems. Real-time systems in the industrial manufacturing environment and process control benefit from this network property, as non-stop availability must be guaranteed in certain applications.
