RIPE IP Failover block

Continuity of service ("fail over")

Thanks to the Failover technology, you switch the IP addresses on your block from one server to another in less than a minute (without interruption of services to your users).

The Failover system has been adopted by our clients to:

• Range change of their dedicated servers (migration).
• Switching their projects from a development environment to a production environment.
• switching traffic to a backup server in case of failure of a production machine.
