High Availability Failover - richiedennis/Tech-Journal-SYS265- GitHub Wiki

High Availability is about how servers have the possibility to fail. However, because it has more than one power supply, if one falls there are others to keep it afloat. Failover has to do with an application being able to respond to clients from a number of hardware installations. So if the hardware falls, another machine carrying the hardware can keep on going.
