How to Achieve Software Level Redundancy & High Availability
in Industrial Data Integration Applications
High Availability and Redundancy are related but different concepts.
- High Availability is about keeping the software applications or control hardware solutions running.
- Redundancy of software & hardware systems through duplication is a key method for achieving High Availability.
Discussions around specific applications require considering how much is enough and many other details. Whenever a potential or existing client contacts us to discuss their needs around these topics, there are many questions we ask to understand what redundancy & high availability means in their operation. Learn more in our technical blog on redundancy.
