High Availability
High availability is critical for utilities, which expect performance and data-driven guarantees in this era of improved asset management. The dual-active approach, which can detect stack split and launch recovery actions to minimize impact of a stack split on services, is an emerging option to ensure high availability. Similarly, the failover approach, in which a failed primary system is automatically replaced by a backup system, aids availability in periods of crisis.This topic also includes four-node-based, high-availability DB systems, 12+-node-based high-availability UI systems, and six+-node IIS
Fail Over
Managing Utility Assets? Try an Ounce of Prevention.
Few industries are as asset-intensive as utilities. And even fewer undergo the public scrutiny utilities face when an asset fails and a service interruption ensues. Utilities work hard to provide highly reliable service, and their success at doing so has painted them into a corner of sorts: customers have come to expect service reliability, and they have little tolerance for the inconvenience of doing without for more than very short periods of time.
