Benefits of Hot Standby
- High availability: It provides high availability using a backup system which is always ready to take over the operation in case the primary system fails or becomes unavailable.
- Fault tolerance: If any data is lost in the primary system, Hot Standby Mode provides security to that data by storing the backup of that data in the secondary system. There is no loss of data and the backup system.
- Fast recovery: If because of the event of failure, by allowing a backup system by Hot Standby Mode, fast recovery is possible.
What is Hot Standby Mode?
In high-availability systems, Hot Standby Mode is a type of redundancy and failover strategy used to ensure continuous operation and minimize downtime in the event of a failure. The term “Hot Standby” refers to a secondary system that is kept ready or on standby and can take over the primary system’s operations in the event of a failure.
