How does Milestone XProtect ensure continuous operation during server failure?

Milestone XProtect ensures continuous operation during server failure by utilizing failover configurations that switch to backup servers. This system design allows for seamless transitions from the primary server to a backup server without significant disruption to the services. In the event that the primary server becomes unavailable due to a failure, the failover mechanism automatically activates, redirecting tasks to a standby server. This approach provides a robust solution for maintaining system reliability and enhancing uptime, which is critical in surveillance environments where uninterrupted operation is essential for security and monitoring purposes.

The other options do not align with the purpose of maintaining operational continuity. Disabling all connected devices would result in complete loss of functionality, while rebooting the primary server does not guarantee immediate recovery or backup activation. Simply informing users of system downtime also does not address the operational continuity needs, as it does not provide a solution for keeping the system running.
