High Availability Factors per Environment

A highly available deployment ensures resilience for the service offered by the product deployment. The need for a highly available deployment depends on business needs. If the service availability is considered critical, a highly available deployment might be important. This ensures that the service stays available despite failures in either the software (like the application servers or the operating system), or hardware (like network cards or power systems).
