Warm Standby

A high-availability architecture in which a backup server application remains initialized and ready to take over the operations of the primary server. Clients of the failed component automatically switch to the backup component. The warm-standby redundancy type reduces to a minimum the inability to process interactions that may have originated during the time that it took to detect the failure. It also eliminates the need to bring a standby server online, thereby increasing solution availability.
