During regular business hours, a primary database server experiences a catastrophic hardware failure. Given that financial transactions rely on uninterrupted database access, which course of action will BEST ensure continued transaction processing with minimal downtime?
Activate a failover database server that immediately assumes the operations of the failed server.
Reboot the server to determine if it was a temporary issue before taking further actions.
Begin restoring the most recent backup to a new server, which might take a few hours.
Contact technical support to start a remote hardware diagnostic evaluation.
Activating a failover database server ensures that financial transactions can continue processing with minimal downtime during a primary database server's hardware failure. Failover servers are typically synchronized and ready to take over immediately, providing near-seamless continuity. While restoring from backups is a valid recovery option, it may not support immediate transaction continuity and could result in the loss of transactions that occurred after the last backup. Requesting technical assistance and performing diagnostics are both proactive measures for resolving the issue, but they will not ensure the continuation of financial transactions during the interim period.
