• Use a backup power supply to protect the server from a power failure.

• Bond multiple network ports or use a software-based solution to failover network connectivity to surviving ports.

• Use a RAID configuration that provides protection against disk failure, such as RAID5 or RAID6.

• Use a separate standby system (see Standby Configuration), ideally in a different, remote location.

• Use the High Availability Option for Red Hat Cluster Suite to configure a standby server with database files stored on shared storage. This option is only available on Linux. For more information see the Vector User Guide.
