A company's e-commerce website is critical for its revenue. To prevent service interruptions from a single server failure, the IT team implements a solution with multiple, redundant servers and automatic load balancing. If one server fails, traffic is immediately redirected to the others. Which cloud computing characteristic does this strategy primarily represent?
This scenario describes high availability. High availability systems are designed to ensure continuous operation and minimize downtime by eliminating single points of failure. This is achieved through techniques like redundancy, where multiple servers are used, and failover mechanisms, such as load balancers that redirect traffic if a server becomes unresponsive.
