  • Failover of interrelated services on multiple devices
    Patent number: 8935562
    Abstract: A device may include a network interface for communicating with a failover device, a memory for instructions, and a processor for executing the instructions. The processor may execute the instructions to communicate with the failover device, via the network interface, to fail over the device to the failover device in a cluster by pushing a process on the device to the failover device when a first failover event occurs. The failover device is configured to fail over the device to the failover device by pulling the process on the device on the second device when a second failover event occurs. The device is in the cluster.
