About this tag
The high availability tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about building resilient infrastructure using both on-premises and hybrid cloud architectures. Recent threads explore stateful high availability patterns on AWS Outposts with third-party storage, detailing how CloudWatch, SNS, and Lambda can automate failover while preserving zero-data-loss RPO. Another thread examines QNAP's QuTS hero 6 beta, which brings native high availability to ZFS-based NAS through built-in clustering, immutable snapshots, and ransomware defenses. These sources emphasize practical, code-backed approaches to achieving continuous uptime and data integrity in enterprise storage and server environments.
