  • Automatic failover for phone recordings
    Patent number: 9413880
    Abstract: Techniques that enable automatic failover for media stream (e.g., VoIP call) recording devices or servers are presented. In one embodiment, a technique includes designating, from among a plurality of recording servers in a cluster of recording servers, a home recording node that will record a media stream flowing between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, designating, from the plurality of recording servers, an alternate recording node, providing, from, e.g., the home recording node to the alternate recording node, media stream information sufficient to allow the alternate recording node to take over recording of the media stream in the event the home recording node can no longer record the media stream, detecting that the home recoding node can no longer record the media stream, and causing the media stream to be redirected to the alternate recording node to be recorded thereby.
