Failover mechanisms, redundancy models and fallback processes

Description

Simpl-Open shall incorporate failover mechanisms, redundancy models, and fallback processes to ensure continuous availability and service continuity during component failures.

SMART Breakdown

  • Specific: This clearly states the need for failover, redundancy, and fallback mechanisms.
  • Measurable: Can be measured by monitoring uptime, failover performance (how quickly the system switches to backup systems), and service continuity during failures.
  • Achievable: Achievable with proper architectural design (e.g., active-passive systems, load balancing, replication).
  • Realistic: This is a common practice for maintaining high-availability and fault-tolerant systems.
  • Timely: Can be tested during the design phase, through simulations, and periodically in real-world failure scenarios.
