The widely touted gold standard for true high availability is 99.999% availability, commonly referred to as “five nines.” As in the above example, 99.999% availability implies a downtime of 26 seconds per month, or about 5.5 minutes per year. If you consider the downtime involved in reboot...
Connection management: This is the software management related specifically to the networking and connectivity aspect of the database. Clustering solutions typically bundle with a connection manager. However, in asynchronous clusters, deploying a connection manager is mandatory for high availability. Backup ...
What is high-availability software? High-availability software is used to operate high-availability clusters. In a high-availability IT system, there are different layers (physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application) that have different software needs. At the appli...
High availability is a quality of infrastructure design at scale that addresses these latter considerations. In this guide, we will discuss what exactly high availability means and how it can improve your infrastructure’s reliability. What Is High Availability? In computing, the term availability is...
Red Hat Enterprise Linuxhas additional capabilities and services that can be included through add-on packages. TheRed Hat Enterprise Linux High Availability Add-onaddresses the networking, clustering, and storage aspects of the topology. Because high availability is so entwined withdata management, Red...
What is load balancing in networking and how to make full use of it? We will show how load balancing serves as the single point of contact for clients. Introduction: Load balancing in networking is a critical component of a high-availability infrastructure. It is a technique used to ...
Network professionals aim to achieve 100% availability, which is when a network system is fully operational and available for its entire runtime. High availability typically strives for 99.999%, also known asfive-nines availability. Network availability vs. network reliability ...
This is where high availability hosting comes in. The concept ofhigh availability hostingrevolves around making all possible variables as redundant as possible. High availability hosting comes down to a few key differences: Network Redundancy:This is the most important factor when it comes to keeping...
Network monitoring provides the information that network administrators need to determine, in real time, whether a network is running optimally. With tools such as networking monitoring software, administrators can proactively identify deficiencies, optimize efficiency, and more. Network monitoring (1:35)...
Hybrid topology is suitable for demanding enterprise networks where a combination of multiple topologies is needed to meet goals for performance, availability, reliability and cost. The mix of topologies provides flexibility, scalability and redundancy for mission-critical networking. Backbone networks ...
