Using Standby Appliances
You can configure one or more appliances in your CMS to function as a standby appliance.
Global HA will monitor the health of your SMA appliances to determine whether a disaster is happening and automatically activate the standby appliance (usually within 15 minutes). To further improve your disaster recovery capabilities with your Global HA environment, the standby appliance(s) can be located in a different datacenter than your other SMA appliances.
A standby appliance has access to all of the central user licenses. However, the standby appliance counts toward the maximum number of licensed appliances that can be managed by the CMS license.
Under normal operational conditions, a standby appliance does not receive user connections made to the GTO service.
