With the average cost of unplanned downtime running from $300,000 to $500,000 per hour , businesses are increasingly using high availability (HA) technologies to maximize application uptime. Where a high availability design once worked well, it can no longer keep up with more complex requirements.

When it comes to access to their applications, users demand instant, reliable, and secure interactions — and that means databases must be highly available. With database high availability (HA), services are largely uninterrupted, and end users are largely satisfied. The obvious answer is this: To achieve high availability.
