service such as a Message Broker available so that should a service unexpectedly fail, or
requires to be shutdown for maintenance, users may quickly connect to another instance and
continue their work with minimal interruption. HA is one way to make a overall system more
resilient by eliminating a single point of failure from a system.</p><p>HA offerings are usually categorised as <span class="bold"><strong>Active/Active</strong></span> or
<span class="bold"><strong>Active/Passive</strong></span>. An Active/Active system is one where all
nodes within the group are usually available for use by clients all of the time. In an
Active/Passive system, one only node within the group is available for use by clients at any
one time, whilst the others are in some kind of standby state, awaiting to quickly step-in in
the event the active node becomes unavailable. </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table summary="Navigation footer" width="100%"><tr><td align="left" width="40%"><a accesskey="p" href="Java-Broker-Runtime-Memory.html">Prev</a>&#160;</td><td align="center" width="20%">&#160;</td><td align="right" width="40%">&#160;<a accesskey="n" href="Java-Broker-High-Availability-OverviewOfHA.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top" width="40%">9.11.&#160;Memory&#160;</td><td align="center" width="20%"><a accesskey="h" href="Apache-Qpid-Broker-J-Book.html">Home</a></td><td align="right" valign="top" width="40%">&#160;10.2.&#160;High Availability Overview</td></tr></table></div></div>
