What are the different failover strategies and how do they compare?

There are several failover strategies, including active-passive, active-active, and cold standby. Active-passive means one system is on standby, while active-active has multiple systems running simultaneously. Cold standby involves a backup system that is not running until needed. Would you like a detailed comparison?

Yes, please provide a detailed comparison of these strategies.

Sure! Active-passive is cost-effective but may have longer recovery times. Active-active offers better performance and redundancy but is more complex and expensive. Cold standby is the least expensive but can lead to longer downtimes. Each has its pros and cons depending on your needs.

What factors should I consider when choosing a failover strategy?

You should consider factors like budget, required uptime, complexity, and the criticality of the applications involved. Assessing your organization's specific needs will help you choose the best strategy.
