    downtime becomes a potentially fatal problem costing companies as much as over 12,000 USD a day. With the growing demand for uninterrupted availability, businesses seek for solutions that ensure high levels of service continuity.

    Availability solution is a server layout designed to reduce service interruptions caused by system malfunctions. It employs two servers to form a "high-availability cluster" (also called "HA cluster") consisting of two compatible Synology servers. Once this high-availability cluster is formed, one

Therefore, when a switchover is triggered and the provision of services is moved to the passive server, there will be no need to modify Additional cluster interfaces can be added on the Network page in Synology High Availability. One of the cluster interfaces is designated as
