Uses of Hot Standby Mode
- Data centers: In data centers, data are the most important so if the primary system get fails then getting the data or giving the data to the user can be done by secondary storage which will be the primary storage after the first primary storage failure.
- Telecommunications: If the established Communication network get fails then by using Hot Standby Mode, backup network elements will be established to communicate without any interruption.
- Transportation systems: Transportation systems, such as airports and train stations, require Hot Standby Mode to ensure that their systems are available to passengers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a primary system fails, a backup system takes over to ensure that passengers can continue to check in for flights or trains.
- Industrial control systems: Industrial control systems, Hot Standby Mode is used to ensure that critical systems are always available. If a primary control system fails, a backup system takes over to keep the plant running safely.
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.
