Description: Virtual failover is a critical process in IT infrastructure management, designed to ensure service continuity in the event of failures in the primary system. This mechanism allows a backup system to automatically take over the functions of the affected system, thereby minimizing downtime and data loss. Virtual failover relies on data and application replication in virtualized environments, facilitating rapid and efficient recovery. This approach is particularly relevant in the context of ‘Disaster Recovery as a Service’ (DRaaS), where providers offer comprehensive solutions that enable organizations to maintain the operability of their critical services without the need for additional physical infrastructure. The main features of virtual failover include automation of the failover process, the ability to conduct tests without disrupting service, and flexibility to adapt to different IT environments. In a world where service availability is essential, virtual failover becomes an indispensable tool for companies looking to protect their digital assets and ensure business continuity.
