As more and more business processes move to the Web, it's increasingly critical that enterprises provide always-available Web operations - no matter what the conditions may be at the site of the origin infrastructure, or on the public Internet. Hardware failures, software failures, attacks, natural disasters, misconfigurations, and even planned maintenance, create downtime that brings e-business to a temporary halt. And downtime for any reason can lead to frustrated users, damaged brand, or even the loss of critical information and revenue. This paper discusses the costs and benefits of various Web site uptime solutions, as well as what solution requirements you should look for to keep your e-business running effectively.
