Synology High Availability (SHA)
Ensuring business continuity
In today’s competitive global economy, many enterprises cannot afford to have their mission-critical services offline for even a short period of time. The advanced Synology High Availability (SHA) technology makes sure that they don’t. It harnesses an active and a passive server into one cluster, the latter always mirrored to the former. Should the main server fails, the passive server immediately kicks in and takes over. This will buy IT personnel more time to repair or replace the failed hardware. In the meantime, users can continue to access their files as well as DSM services from the backup server, as if the incident never happened.
- Heartbeat mechanism: The passive server will automatically initiate its systems as soon as regular "heartbeats" between two servers are no longer detected.
- Link aggregation support: With more than one network connections between servers, the reliability of their communication is guaranteed through failover and load-balancing capabilities between links.
