Background – Traditional Data Protection

Active – Passive Data Access

Information read / write accessible only from one site at a time

Upon a failure, data available at the second site

Failover and failback and application restart is a manual process – often not invoked

Moving applications for load balancing or infrastructure maintenance is disruptive

The Case for Continuous Availability What is Continuous Availability?
