AC2000 Failover

AC2000 Failover

AC2000 Failover provides a superior security solution that ensures continuous operation and data protection throughout the system's lifecycle. With its backup and data synchronization features between two servers (primary and secondary), the system guarantees that in the event of a primary server failure, the secondary server can quickly take over and continue providing service without interrupting user activities.

With both automatic and manual failover modes, administrators can easily control the system recovery process. AC2000 Failover offers peace of mind to organizations, ensuring security and stable performance in all situations.

Key Features:

• AC2000 Failover ensures continuous operation of the system, even if the primary server fails, with a secondary server always ready to take over.
• The system downtime is minimal, preventing disruptions to company operations.
• Data is continuously backed up and synchronized between the primary and secondary servers, ensuring no loss of critical data during failures.
• When a failure occurs, users simply need to log off and log back into the AC2000 software to continue their work without significant interruption.
• Administrators can choose between automatic failover mode, where the system automatically detects failures and switches to the secondary server, or manual failover mode, where the administrator triggers the switch.
• When a failure occurs and failover takes place, Security Hub displays notifications and alerts, enabling administrators to quickly identify and address the issue.
• The independent replication network between the primary and secondary servers ensures continuous data synchronization without affecting the main system network.
• Once the primary server is repaired, the system can restore its original state and bring the primary server back into the lead role without disruption.
• Pacemaker is a service running on the replication network, constantly monitoring the status of both servers to ensure system continuity.
• The system provides continuous updates on the status of the servers and connected devices, making it easy for administrators to monitor and manage.
