Failover services
In information technology, a failover service is a highly available service, which has one active/primary instance running on a cluster node, and one or more passive/standby/secondary instances configured on other cluster nodes. In the event of a hardware or software failure due to which the service can not continue to run on the primary node of the cluster, it is started on one of the secondary nodes.
