SonicOS/X 7 High Availability
Benefits of Stateful Synchronization
- Improved reliability - By synchronizing most critical network connection information, Stateful Synchronization prevents down time and dropped connections in case of Security Appliance failure.
- Faster failover performance - By maintaining continuous synchronization between the Primary and Secondary Security Appliances, Stateful Synchronization enables the Secondary Security Appliance to take over in case of a failure with virtually no down time or loss of network connections.
- Minimal impact on CPU performance - Typically less than 1% usage.
- Minimal impact on bandwidth - Transmission of synchronization data is throttled so as not interfere with other data.
