.89 - .93 Application Resiliency and Disaster Recovery Methods Flashcards
7113.89
How can an organization restore its critical applications quickly in case of a disaster?
Hardware clustering or application clustering
7113.89
A grouping of peripheral devices such as printers, servers, and workstations in a computer system that requires a specialized hardware to be installed in a single server that controls the cluster.
Hardware Clustering
.89
When should clustering be practiced?
when system resilience is required
A method of turning multiple computer servers into a cluster to act as a single system. Identical software is on several servers with the same information and operates administrative tasks such as load balancing and determining node failures.
Application Clustering
What does clustering do?
It helps to protect an application and restore the application to its original state as quickly as possible in case of a disaster.
What does clustering protect against?
single points of failure in case of a loss of resources that would result in the loss of service or production.
What is the main objective of clustering?
higher availability
What are the two types of application clusters?
active-passive
active-active
