Predictive Migration for Application High Availability

Abstract

Customer applications and workloads are increasingly become complex today as business environments they serve are very dynamic, competitive and require IT systems and applications that are highly flexible to serve the changing needs of businesses. One such need is high availability of applications and services customer uses, to keep the continuity of business.

Clustering of machines is one of the approaches used to achieve high availability. Traditional high availability clustering solutions involve restarting of business critical applications on the standby machines in the cluster when the primary machine goes down. The services rendered by the application would not be available causing the service downtime proportional to the complexity of the application.
