To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

As the data is distributed into smaller partitions, the database engine only needs to scan relevant partitions, leading to faster query responses.
