QuestionQ36

VerifiedDisaster Recovery Planning Process

A hospital was digitizing its records and transitioning emergency-room workflows from manual processes to automated online processes. Because this information was extremely critical and could not be unavailable even for minutes, the IT department proposed a solution to meet that requirement.

Under the proposed system, a secondary server would automatically take over from the primary server the instant the primary server failed for any reason. This required both servers to remain coordinated at all times. Which solution is the IT department proposing?

Explanation

Failover is the automatic transfer of service from a failed primary server to a standby or secondary server, preserving availability with minimal interruption. Continuous coordination between the servers supports the standby system’s ability to assume the primary workload immediately.
