High Availability

Introduction

Cisco High Availability is technology delivered in Cisco IOS Software that enables network-wide resilience to increase IP network availability. Network applications must cross different network segments - from the Enterprise Backbone, Enterprise Edge, and Service Provider Edge, through the Service Provider Core. All segments must be resilient to recover quickly enough for faults to be transparent to users and network applications.
