Improving Service Availability

Eliminating single points of failure and using Xserve and hardware RAID can boost your server availability.

Other things you can do range from simple solutions like using power backup, automatic restart, and ensuring proper operational conditions (for example, adequate temperature and humidity levels) to more advanced solutions involving link aggregation, load balancing, Open Directory replication, and data backup.

Eliminating Single Points of Failure

To improve the availability of your server, reduce or eliminate single points of failure. A single point of failure is any component in your server environment that, if it fails, causes your server to fail.
