High Availability

Availability is best described as the time a particular resource is accessible and usable. Customers in today's networked world require any time, any where access to essential services, meaning the underlying systems, data and applications need to be continuously available. But high availability (HA) isn't just about delivering 99.999% - the fabled five nines - uptime for your IT infrastructure. It's about identifying the business criticality of individual IT systems, tackling all the causes of downtime - people and processes as well as products - and minimizing the total cost of availability. » More
