Abstract

High availability (HA) in data protection is crucial for maintaining continuous access to critical data, even amidst hardware or software failures. However, existing methods often face challenges in integration with new technologies such as Docker containers. This study addresses these drawbacks by proposing a robust framework that includes redundant hardware setups, automated failover mechanisms, and disaster recovery solutions, with a particular focus on cloud-based services. The goal is to minimize downtime and data loss, thereby ensuring data integrity and availability. By incorporating leading solutions such as Veritas NetBackup, this paper provides a comprehensive approach to enhancing HA in modern IT environments.
High availability in data protection is crucial for maintaining continuous access to critical data, even in the face of hardware or software failures. This paper discusses a comprehensive array of strategies and technologies employed to achieve high availability in data protection systems. These include redundant hardware setups, automated failover mechanisms, disaster recovery solutions, and the integration of cloud-based services [4]. The primary goal is to minimize downtime and data loss, thus providing a robust framework for data integrity and availability. We also explore the role of leading solutions such as Veritas NetBackup in enhancing high availability in modern IT environments.
