Redundancy
What's this?
Redundancy is a process in which upon failure of one System, the other System takes control of the active
operation. Redundancy can be used only if you have two systems — Primary System and Backup System
connected in the same subnet and you have the “Redundancy License” activated in one of the systems.The system
that takes charge of the operation is known as the Active Server and the other is Standby Server.
Hence, redundancy feature ensures system’s availability even while experiencing technical difficulties or natural
calamities.This feature is extremely useful in organizations where persistent network communication link needs to
exist. For example — banks, hospitals, defense services etc. Any sudden discontinuation in communication in such
organizations may cause unfavorable results.
Redundancy prevents such situations by transferring all the configuration and call information from the Active
System to the Standby System. Thus, it reduces the downtime thereby providing high availability and uninterrupted
communication.
How it works
PRASAR UCS supports Redundancy in the same subnet in two ways, over LAN port or over WAN port. However,
it is highly recommended to use the LAN for better bandwidth utilization and avoiding network congestion.
The following example illustrates how Redundancy is applied over LAN port of networks.
