Your Site Always Available   Enterprises whose Web sites rely on centralized infrastructure often find that ensuring uptime is a continuous challenge. A typical solution involves mirroring a Web site at an alternate location; however, this approach creates additional capital and management costs. With our Site Failover solution, you can ensure that your end customers always receive content through one of three failover methods - even in the event that an origin server is unavailable. You can opt to have Site Failover serve a single default page that is always stored at the edge, use this failover technology to direct requests to your company's own backup site location, or serve content from an entire backup version of the site that is stored on Net Storage. By using Site Failover with Net Storage, your enterprise is guaranteed a Web presence regardless of Internet conditions. What's more, Site Failover measures begin automatically based on metrics that you define, such as origin latency and load.     The Site Failover solution is flexibly integrated into your processes. Not only will the particular needs of your site determine the correct form of failover to be used, but your IT team will be involved in selecting and creating backup content and setting failover parameters that determine how aggressively edge servers attempt to connect to the origin site to determine downtime and uptime.   Benefits to your business: Site Mirroring: our Site Failover mirror your Web site economically, as it does not require the expense of investing in additional data centers to achieve redundancy.
